Sly's Action Pic "Head" Gets Yanked

Warner Bros.has pulled the planned April 13th release of Walter Hill's action pic Headshot from its schedule reports Deadline.

Based on the graphic novel "Bullet to the Head" in which Sylvester Stallone plays a New Orleans hit man who teams with a Gotham cop to take down the killers of their respective partners. Christian Slater is a local handler who acts as a middleman, Holt McCallany is a dirty cop who's partners with Sung Kang. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is the villain, a powerful attorney who's trying to cover up his scam to exploit poor neighborhoods that have been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Jason Momoa has been cast in the bad guy role of Keegan Sarah Shahi will play Sly's Daughter.

Alessandro Camon ("The Messenger") adapted the material into a script.

Joel Silver and Andrew Rona will produce the pic


Silver’s Dark Castle Entertainment produced the film leaving Warners with just the job of marketing and distribution, making it an easy to move around the schedule.  It also helps that no trailers and only one still from the pic has been released so far.
