Al Pacino Chases A Serial Killer In Hangman Trailer

Seems like every serial killer in movies these days needs a good gimmick.

Saban Films released the trailer for Hangman, starring Al Pacino as a grizzled detective (can he play any other kind?) who is on the trail of a vicious murderer playing an especially morbid game of, you guessed it, Hangman. But it seems like the killer has a particular interest in Pacino's character, who is joined by his partner played by Karl Urban (Star Trek, Dredd). Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect) co-stars as a journalist who is shadowing the detectives.

The thriller comes from director Johnny Martin, known for Vengeance: A Love Story and the horror Delirium. Not much else is known about the flick, but it's always fun to see what kind of leather jacket Pacino will wear.

Saban Films and Lionsgate will release the film on Ultra VOD Nov. 24, and in theaters and On Demand on Dec. 22.
