Row K has uploaded the full-length trailer for their very first release Dead Man's Wire [DMWIR]. Bill Skarsgard [BSKAR] star as the real-life Tony Kiritsis, a real estate developer who took a banker hostage in Indianapolis, Indiana. He demands $5 million and a personal apology from the banker's father for his alleged mistreatment by the bank over a mortgage. Directed by Gus Van Sant [GVSAN], Dead Man's Wire opens in select theaters on January 9th before expanding wide on January 16th.
Based on a true story, the 1977 kidnapping of a prominent banker grips the nation and turns the abductor into an outlaw folk hero. As the media frenzy peaks, the standoff becomes a spectacle of desperation, defiance and blurred justice, which resonates even today.
