John Woo's ‘Silent Night' set for December Release
Silent Night, John Woo's new American film in 20 years has been acquisitioned by Lionsgate.
Silent Night is Woo's first American theatrical movie since 2003's Paycheck, starring Ben Affleck and Aaron Eckhart. His new film is unique as it has no dialogue, stars Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman, Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno, who broke on our screens in the film Maria Full of Grace.
Silent Night is also produced byJohn Wick producers Thunder Road Films, so that promises to be an exciting premise.
The plot is a gritty revenge tale, which follows a tormented father (Kinnaman) who witnesses his young son die when caught in a gang's crossfire on Christmas Eve. While recovering from a wound that costs him his voice, Kinnaman makes vengeance his life's mission and embarks on a punishing training regimen in order to avenge his son's death.
