Uma Thurman is sharing the screen with her daughter Maya Hawke.
On Thursday, the first trailer for The Kill Room, showcasing the mother-daughter duo in what also marks a reunion for Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson nearly 30 years after 1994’s Pulp Fiction.
Directed by Nicol Paone and written by Jonathan Jacobson, the dark comedy also stars Joe Manganiello, Larry Pine, Debi Mazar and WWE’s Liv Morgan.
The Kill Room is about “an art dealer (Thurman) who teams with a hitman (Manganiello) and his boss (Jackson) for a money laundering scheme that accidentally turns the hitman into an overnight Avant-Garde sensation, forcing the dealer to play the art world against the underworld.”
