The A24 thriller Huntington starring Glen Powell, Ed Harris and Margaret Qualley is getting re-titled as How to Make a Killing. In addition, we’ve confirmed that the movie is hitting theaters on Feb. 20 versus 20th Century Studios’ horror movie Psycho Killer and Lionsgate’s faith-based title I Can Only Imagine 2.
Deadline first told you about the John Patton Ford project which is inspired by Studiocanal’s 1949 Ealing Comedy library title Kind Hearts and Coronets, starring Alec Guinness. Studiocanal financed the latest iteration and also produced. Jessica Henwick, Zach Woods, Topher Grace and Bill Camp also star.
Kind Hearts And Coronets follows Louis D’Ascoyne Mazzini, the son of a woman disowned by her aristocratic family for marrying out of her social class. After her death, a vengeful Louis decides to take the family’s dukedom by murdering the eight people ahead of him in the line of succession to the title. The BAFTA-nominated film was included in Time‘s 2005 list of the top 100 films since 1923.
Ford’s screenplay was ranked on the 2014 Black List then titled Rothchild. At one point, Shia LaBeouf and Mel Gibson were set to star under the direction of Jon S. Baird.
Powell currently has Paramount’s The Running Man in theaters. Through Tuesday, the movie stands at $19.4M at the domestic box office. The actor currently stars and executive produces the Hulu series Chad Powers.
A24 has the feature films Eternity releasing on Nov. 26 with Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, Callum Turner and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, as well as the Josh Safdie directed Marty Supreme starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow.
