Trailer Drops For A-List Film Made Locally
By Chris Lundy LAVALLETTE – “The Kill Room,” a movie partially made in Ocean County, will be in theaters this fall. Uma Thurman and Joe Manganiello filmed the final scenes at the Jersey shore on October 7, 2022. It reunites Thurman with her “Pulp Fiction” co-star Samuel L. Jackson and features her daughter, Maya Hawke. The release date is September 29, 2023. It’s rated R.
Manganiello is a contract killer and Jackson is his handler. When someone needs Manganiello to kill someone, the money is laundered through Thurman’s art gallery. In order to make the scheme work, Manganiello also makes a work of art to be sold. The killer is not an artist, so his work is just thrown together. But people pay millions of dollars for bizarre, abstract art, so the scam is believable. (Film - See Page 7)

The homeless encampment was initially located on property partially owned by the municipality and First Energy. One of the main access roads to the camp is on land owned by Ocean County and Toms River Township. “Safety is a JCP&L priority, and we remind the public to keep away from powerlines and energized electrical equipment and at least 30 feet away from all JCP&L infrastructure for their own safety and protection,” Hoenig told Jersey Shore Online.com. To facilitate the placement of the “no trespassing” signs on their property, JCP&L received a police escort. Police Chief Mitch Little said that the company has also requested assistance from township police regarding the enforcement of no trespassing laws. Minister Steve Brigham of Destiny’s Bridge and the organizer of the encampment revealed that 15 men and women continue to reside in the makeshift settlement, now moved to an undisclosed location on what is believed to be public property. Together with other volunteers, Brigham and some of the inhabitants diligently worked to meet what they thought was the midnight deadline to relocate their belongings away from the powerlines. “My son came down with one of his friends and helped,” Brigham said. “They’re very (Homeless - See Page 5)
