Rejected Smokin' Aces Taglines
A stylish, post-Tarantinian yarn about a group of high-paid assassins descending on a posh hotel to compete over a single mark: a magician...named Buddy "Aces" Israel......played by beloved Entourage scamp Jeremy Piven?! Why on earth is a gem like this coming out in January? By next Oscar season, critics and tastemakers will have forgotten about it!
"May the best hitman win" is not bad, as taglines go. But, as always, to make a genius tagline omelet, you've got to break a few tagline eggs, leaving the rejected tagline shells on the tagline island for Fametracker to scoop into the compost heap...the better to produce the rich tagline garden you see below:
