SLATE OF UPCOMING NEW PROJECTS WITH ALEX PETTYFER, GUY PEARCE, SAMARA WEAVING, KATE BOSWORTH, DENNIS QUAID, THOMAS KRETSCHMANN, SARAH GADON, HENRY GOLDING, BILLY MAGNUSSEN!

 UPCOMING MOVIE PROJECTS 

SAMARA WEAVING'S AZRAEL

We are in that part of the year when movie markets are looming ahead of us, so I have a slate of new projects that will be offered to buyers in Berlin, Cannes

Samara Weaving will lead Azrael movie

and other markets this year. Director E.L.Katz has Samara Weaving in his movie AZRAEL, set in a world in which no one speaks, where a devout female-led community hunts down a young woman who has escaped her imprisonment. 

LAST SENTINEL

Vertical has already bought rights to this sf movie set in the near future, where unchecked and rampant climate change has caused temperatures and sea levels to rise catastrophically. Only two large continents remain, and billions die during the mass migration to these higher lands.

Thomas Kretschmann is the last sentinel

Surrounded by an endless ocean thousands of miles from home, a skeleton crew of soldiers (Kate Bosworth, Lucien Laviscount, Martin McCann and Thomas Kretschmann) stand as the last bastion, defending their homeland from an invasion by an enemy they have never seen, monitoring for signs of attack and prepared to sacrifice themselves for the cause. Their tour of duty ended 3 months ago with no relief in sight. Alone and uncertain as to what fate awaits them, the simmering tension amongst the crew escalates when a mysterious boat drifts into range – is it the help they have been waiting for, or something far more sinister? Oscar nominee Tanel Toom helms. 

SUNRISE NEO NOIR MOVIE

Alex Pettyfer will see the Sunrise

Andrew Baird is directing Alex Pettyfer as Fallon, a man who roams the land as a creature of the night while he comes to terms with the loss of his family at the hands of the brutal demagogue Reynolds, played by Guy Pearce.
