PERDITION Release Date

DreamWorks is looking to counter the summer's usual popcorn movie fare with the release of Sam Mendes' next film, THE ROAD TO PERDITION.

The film, which stars Tom Hanks and Jude Law, is set to hit movie screens on July 12, 2002. The same time frame served D'Works' releases of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and WHAT LIES BENEATH very well. PERDITION now opens on the same weekend as Disney's futuristic action-fantasy REIGN OF FIRE.

Based on the graphic novel by Max Allan Collins and Richard Rayner, PERDITION tells the Depression-era story of a mob hitman named Michael O'Sullivan (Hanks), called the "Angel of Death", whose wife and youngest son are gunned down. The hitman then seeks revenge for those deaths.

The film also stars Paul Newman, Stanley Tucci and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
