I have no idea why this trailer for Killing Them Softly was banned, but Annapurna Pictures just tweeted it out and considering it was one of my absolute favorites of last year and the fact director Andrew Dominik is receiving some much deserved attention as of late, not only for this film but also for the resurgence of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, I felt I must share it.
[amz asin=”B009AMALBM” size=”small”]If you have yet to see Killing Them Softly, first off “shame”, secondly it’s an adaptation of George V. Higgins’ novel following professional enforcer, Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt), who investigates a heist that occurs during a high stakes, mob-protected, poker game. The film also features Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Ray Liotta, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Vincent Curatola, Max Casella, Sam Shepard and Bella Heathcote.
Check out the banned trailer directly below, which, again, I’m not sure why it was banned, but it does give away quite a bit of the film. However, if it gets any of you that haven’t seen it to watch it, all the better.
UPDATE: It has come to my attention this trailer is the same as the previous “unused” trailer only this one is much higher quality and without the watermarking.
