A little bit of Hollywood is coming to Cape Girardeau. Producers of "Killshot" have confirmed that Diane Lane and other stars and crew will be in town later this year or in early 2006 to shoot scenes for the movie.
Based on the 1989 novel by Elmore Leonard, "Killshot" will tell the story of a married couple who find themselves in Cape Girardeau while on the run from a pair of hitmen.
Scenes for the film will be shot in late December or early January, said Jerry Jones, executive director of the Missouri Film Commission.
Cape Girardeau is of huge atmospheric importance to the film," co-producer David Webb said recently from Toronto.
Directors and producers took a five-hour tour of the southeast Missouri town in July. "We loved the whole Mississippi River aspect of it. You can't exactly recreate that," said Webb.
"Killshot," directed by John Madden, also will star Mickey Rourke and Justin Timberlake. It is expected to be released next year.
