EXCLUSIVE: Vertical Entertainment has secured the US distribution rights for A Day to Die, an action thriller starring Bruce Willis, Frank Grillo, Leon and Kevin Dillon. Wes Miller directed the indie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Mallace and Rab Berry. The photo is expected to be released in 2022.
In the film, a disgraced parole officer (Dillon) is beholden to a local gang leader and forced to carry out a series of dangerous drug thefts within twelve hours in order to pay the $ 2 million he owes, save his kidnapped pregnant wife, and settle a score with the city’s corrupt police chief (Willis), who works with the gang boss and dubbed him years ago.
Gianni Capaldi, Brooke Butler, Vernon Davis, Mohamed Karim, Alexander Kane and Curtis Nichouls complete the cast. Nichouls also produced the film alongside Andrew van den Houten and DJ Dodd. Capstone Group manages global sales.
“A filmmaker’s choice of distributor is extremely important, and I’m thrilled to partner with Vertical to bring A Day to Die to the world,” Miller said. “The team welcomes diverse material from a variety of filmmakers and has worked with some of the best actors and filmmakers working today.”
Christian Mercuri and Roman Viaris for Capstone Group negotiated the rights agreement with Peter Jarowey and Josh Spector on behalf of Vertical.
