Cameras are now rolling in Las Vegas for Sympathy For The Devil, the new psychological thriller from The Operative helmer Yuval Adler. Casting buzz on Tuesday brought word of actors Joel Kinnaman (The Suicide Squad) and Nicolas Cage (Willy’s Wonderland) who will star in the pic from a script by Luke Paradise.
Sympathy For The Devil “follows “The Driver” (Kinnaman) who finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after being forced to drive a mysterious man, “The Passenger” (Cage). As their white-knuckle ride progresses, it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems.”
Christian Mercuri’s Capstone Studios has reteamed with Alex Lebovici’s Hammerstone Studios and Signature Films to produce since collaborating on Moritz Mohr’s upcoming Boy Kills World. Allan Ungar is producing with Mercuri, next to Stuart Manashil, and Signature’s Marc Goldberg. Lebovici is exec producing with David Haring, David Sullivan, Jason Soto, Tim Moore, Courtney Chenn and Waylen Lin.
“This is a tour de force featuring two incredible actors,” said Ungar. “As an acclaimed filmmaker, Yuval has assembled the perfect cast and brought a unique and gritty vision to this film that will be sure to capture audiences.”
Cage is repped by WME, Stride Management and Attorney Patrick Knapp of Goodman Genow. Kinnaman by WME and Magnolia. Paradise is repped by Industry Entertainment and Gersh.
