Deadline’s Andreas Wiseman has updates this week on Ida Red, a new action thriller shot during the pandemic with Covid-19 safety protocols in place. The film is currently nearing wrap of principal photography in Oklahoma from writer/director John Swab (Body Brokers).
Actor Josh Hartnett stars as the heir to the family business of his incarcerated mother, career criminal Ida ‘Red’ Walker (played by Melissa Leo). When a job goes awry, his local detective brother-in-law steps in along with an FBI agent to investigate.
Also starring are Frank Grillo (Captain America 2 & 3), Melissa Leo (The Fighter), and William Forsythe (The Rock), along with Sofia Hublitz (Ozark), Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood), Mark Boone Junior (Sons of Anarchy), Beau Knapp (The Nice Guys), Slaine (The Town) and Nicholas Cirillo (Outer Banks).
“Undeterred by the pandemic, this is our third consecutive summer shoot here in Tulsa. We could not make these films the way that we want to make them anywhere else. The local production value, support, and incentives make all of the difference,” said producer Jeremy Rosen of Roxwell Films.
