Sales agent and Prod co. Inferno Ent.’s Jim Seibel and Bill Johnson must totally be stoked at finding one of their own in the Main Competition this year. Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly (aka Cogan’s Trade) will have photogs going bezerk for Brad Pitt and the film might just pan out to be this year’s Drive for being so badass. On the horizon we have Allen Hughes breaking away from his brother with Broken City and Andrew Niccol takes on fan favorite The Host.
