The feature is written by Jonathan Jacobson (Sole Proprietor) and directed by Nicol Paone (The Heartbreak Kid). The Kill Room follows a hitman named Reggie (Manganiello) his employer (Jackson) and a less-than-trustworthy art dealer (Thurman) as they navigate a money-laundering scheme. However, when the ordeal turns the hitman into an overnight sensation, the art dealer is pit the criminal underworld against the larger-than-life world of high-end art. Liv Morgan will reportedly portray an art purist with a hatred toward art dealers.

The Yale Entertainment-produced feature will make the big-screen debut for Morgan, who appeared weekly as an active member of WWE’s Raw roster. Signing with the WWE in 2014, the performer touts success on all three of the company’s major brands as well as appearances at the annual spectacular, WrestleMania.
