The Kill Room centres on a hitman (played by Manganiello), his boss (Jackson) and an art dealer (Thurman) in the aftermath of a money-laundering scheme that goes wrong as the hitman becomes an overnight sensation.
The project has been written by Jonathan Jacobson and will be directed by Nicol Paone, the latter saying previously: "Getting to make The Kill Room – an already incredible script – with Uma Thurman and Samuel L Jackson is beyond my wildest dreams.
"Every moment they're on screen, they are both enviable and eye-catching. I am eternally grateful to both of them for saying yes, and I am thrilled to bring this to life."

Speaking about the project, producers Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman said: "The combination of Uma and Sam for this project is a dream come true.
"We are certain that Nicol is going to deliver a special film, and one that strikes the perfect balance between dark humour and edge-of-your-seat thrills."
Hawke is perhaps best known for playing Robin Buckley on Stranger Things, and will soon reprise the role in the upcoming fourth season.
The Kill Room is about to start filming in New Jersey and New York, but there is no release date yet.
