Relativity announced today that it will distribute Three Days to Kill in the U.S. on February 14, 2014. The film is directed by McG (This Means War, Terminator Salvation), written by Luc Besson and Adi Hasak and stars Kevin Costner (Man of Steel, Jack Ryan), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), Amber Heard (Paranoia) and Connie Nielsen (“Boss”).
In the action thriller, Costner plays an elite government hit man who after receiving news that he has a terminal disease, decides to give up his high stakes life to finally build a relationship with his estranged wife and daughter, whom he’s previously kept at arm’s length to keep out of danger. But when his agency offers him an experimental, potentially life-saving drug in exchange for one last mission, it’s an offer he can’t refuse – even if it means juggling his two toughest assignments yet: going after the world’s most ruthless terrorist and caring for his daughter for the first time in ten years while his wife is out of town.
EuropaCorps Luc Besson and Virginie Besson-Silla and Adi Hasak and Relativitys CEO Ryan Kavanaugh are producing. Relativitys President, Tucker Tooley, will executive produce.
Tooley said: “EuropaCorp is a tremendous partner for Relativity and we are excited to continue building our relationship. McG, Kevin Costner and the entire team have done an incredible job of bringing Luc and Adi’s script to the big screen.”
This films furthers the co-financing and co-production relationship between EuropaCorp and Relativity, which the two companies recently announced will be extended for an additional slate of films. The original deal also includes Besson’s comedic action film Malavita in theatres September 20, 2013.
