Actor Robert De Niro will team up with John Travolta to star in action movie 'Killing Season', an action movie set in the Appalachian Mountains about an American military veteran (De Niro) who has retreated to a remote cabin in the woods. When a rare visitor, a European tourist (Travolta), appears on the scene, the two men strike up an unlikely friendship. But in fact the visitor is a former Serbian soldier bent on revenge. What follows is a tense, action packed battle across some of America's most forbidding landscape that proves the old adage: the purest form of war is one-on-one. "We're excited to be co-financing and co-producing this film with Corsan, and to be working again with Robert De Niro and John Travolta," said Avi Lerner, co-chairman of Nu Image. "We've never seen these two great actors on screen together before, and we're excited to see what comes of the combination," Lerner added. The movie is scheduled to begin production Jan 16. “I’ve loved this project from the moment I read Evan Daughterty’s remarkable script,” said Corsan CEO Paul Breuls. “It’s thrilling, imaginative, unexpected and dominated by two extraordinary characters on a collision course.” Breuls received a Master’s Degree in Law at the University of Brussels (VUB), as well as an MBA at the Vlerick management school. After a brief academic career, he established himself as a lawyer specializing in finance before moving into the film industry.
