AFM 2014: EVERLY Is Armed And Ready In The Latest Sales Poster
From its roots as a Black List script in 2010 to a fully-fledged contained action thriller three years later, Knights Of Badassdom helmer, director and co-writer Joe Lynch is back in the headlines with movement for his newest movie, Everly. The film got its day at Fantastic Fest back in September and while reviews were mixed, the film has drawn some ample attention for its exhilarating action and its intense storytelling with leading femme fatale, actress Salma Hayek singlehandedly taking on the Yakuza one bullet at a time.
SYNOPSIS:
It’s Christmastime, but all is not well in the world of Everly (Salma Hayek). A call girl by trade, Everly has turned against her gangster boss Taiko (Hiroyuki Watanabe) and become a police informant. In response, Taiko has put out a hit on Everly and her family. Soon, every criminal in town wants to cash in. Everly’s survival instincts quickly kick in as she matches wits and firepower with Taiko and a seemingly endless stream of killers.
Everly joins Hayek with principle actors Togo Igawa, Masashi Fujimoto and Hiroyuki Watanabe. The film is co-written by Yale Hannon and is produced by Adam Ripp, Rob Paris and Luke Rivett, and co-produced by Brett Hedblom, with action sequences designed by Akihiro “Yuji” Noguchi (Special Forces, Ninja, Travelers). The film is currently awaiting a North American release date from Dimension and Radius/TWC.
