Kuklinkski, who was both a charismatic family man and a brutal hitman, might tease a few of the nuances we can expect to see in Shannon's interpretation of Zod. Icemans power to generate cold is so great, he was able to stop a massive fusion device explosion. He was convicted of two murders, but claimed to have killed at least. Of course, most moviegoers know Shannon as General Zod in Zach Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel movie. Iceman can consciously, immediately lower his body temperature from its normal 98.6 Fahrenheit to absolute zero (The point where all molecular motion stops.) and lower within the span of a few tenths of a second. Richard The Iceman Kuklinski parlayed his penchant for violence into a lucrative career for prominent Mafia crime families. While not a household name (yet), Shannon is definitely a growing presence in Hollywood - turning in solid performances in Boardwalk Empire, Machine Gun Preacher, and this year's Premium Rush. He's joined by Winona Ryder as his wife, Ray Liotta as his handler, and an unrecognizable Chris Evans as his unhinged partner (a role once owned by James Franco).

Vromen's Iceman stars Michael Shannon as Kuklinski, who looks perfect for the role with his creepy, mob-inspired visage. The Iceman tells the true story of contract killer Kuklinski, who worked for almost two decades between the 60s and 80s, all the while hiding his job from his loving family. You can check out the trailer at the top of the page but be warned, it does contain mild SPOILERS - if you're unfamiliar with Richard Kuklinski. The trailer for Ariel Vromen's The Iceman trailer has been released and based on the sneak peek, it looks to provide both a riveting crime drama for the casual moviegoer crowd as well as a potential awards contender - thanks to the onscreen talent and an engaging true-life story premise.
