Hillcoat’s Stacked Cast for ‘Triple Nine’ Makes It a Must See of 2015

Gal Gadot (Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Fast & Furious 6) tweeted a couple photos from the set of John Hillcoat‘s Triple Nine (included at the bottom of this post), reminding me this is a film I think has only been mentioned once on this site and that was almost four years ago when Shia LaBeouf was circling the pic after LaBeouf worked with Hillcoat on Lawless. Now there’s no LaBeouf, but the cast is stacked for this corrupt cop drama.

The film centers on a group of corrupt police officers who are blackmailed into pulling off a seemingly impossible heist. In order to orchestrate the plan a “999”, code for ‘officer down’, must be executed and a rookie police officer is the proposed victim.

Along with Gadot, the film stars Aaron Paul, Teresa Palmer, Kate Winslet, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael B. Jordan, Clifton Collins Jr., Anthony Mackie and Norman Reedus. Excited yet?

I’m also excited to see Hillcoat is working with cinematographer Nicolas Karakatsanis whose work on Michael R. Roskam‘s Bullhead I called “dark, raw and visceral, just right for the material and often affecting as it brings the blunt force trauma of such a masculine movie to heaving life.”

Open Road is set to release the film in 2015 and I apologize for being so lazy and not mentioning it earlier.
