The tenacious efforts at bringing elevated productions to the fray from WarParty Films continues onward with Everly helmer Joe Lynch’s latest work-up, Point Blank.
Jeff Sneider is reporting exclusively at Collider that Anthony Mackie and Frank Grillo will headline the Netflix original English-language remake of Fred Cavayé‘s 2010 thriller, Point Blank. Everly and Mayhem helmer Joe Lynch is directing from a script by Adam G. Simon, and with Grillo producing with Joe Carnahan via their WarParty banner next to Gaumont.
The film will tackle the harrowing tale that ensues following of a nurse (Mackie) forced to spring a wounded murder suspect (Grillo) from the hospital if he is to rescue his pregnant wife from the man’s brother. The two actors mark their latest film reunion since appearing in Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War.
The original film, conceived by Cavayé who co-wrote with Guillaume Lemans inspired a loose Korean remake in 2014 from director Chang titled The Target. Mark Wahlberg was once attached to the project back in 2012 with Leverage and Working Title prior to the usual evolution of things when the development process spans longer than preferred.
Point Blank is currently among a slate of transitional titles at Gaumont for its U.S. feature film division which also lists Yeon Sang-Ho’s Train To Busan as of last year. Both Carnahan and Grillo who recently wrapped action-thriller Boss Level following Jeremy Rush’s Wheelman are also involved in an enticing forthcoming military-toned remake of Indonesian crime thriller The Raid which Simon has also penned.
RLJE Films will be releasing the bloody, bruising and bonecrushing hell out of Mayhem in theaters and on VOD and digital HD on November 10. Entertainment Weekly exclusively unveiled the official U.S. trailer which you can check out below along with the official Toronto After Dark select trailer just beneath.
Fresh from the festival floors of SXSW, Chatanooga and Fantasia to your nearest screens, Everly helmer Joe Lynch’s newest, Mayhem, is staking its claim with moviegoers this week with a brand new official poster. RLJE Films is rolling out the contained viral action survival romp in theaters and on VoD beginning November 10 with a script by Mattias Caruso.
A dangerous virus, one that prevents the infected from controlling their inhibitions, is discovered in a corporate law building, the very same firm that recently cleared an infected man on murder charges. When a quarantine is issued and the building goes on lockdown, all hell breaks loose inside, while a disgruntled employee (Steven Yeun) and an irate client (Samara Weaving) must fight and even kill their way to the top to “have a word” with the corrupt executives who wronged them before time runs out.
“It’s not every day you get to throw action, sci-fi, horror, drama and even satire in the genre blender and hit puree, but Matias’ script, combined with a gung-ho cast and crew — especially Steven and Samara — will make for a deliciously dangerous and exciting cinematic smoothie … with a hell of a kick.”
Watch new trailer and gear up for the film’s forthcoming VOD release this Friday on January 23. The film makes its big screen debut on February 27.
Also starring are actors Togo Igawa and Masashi Fujimoto. 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).
It’s been a much longer-than-preferred wait, although it is safe to say that anyone eagerly awaiting the release of Knights Of Badassdom helmer, director and co-writer Joe Lynch‘s new movie, Everly will be nothing short of entertained, as per many of the positive responses stemming from its premiere during this year’s Fantastic Fest. It’s certainly a worthy wait for action film junkies looking to see actress Salma Hayek in one of her sexiest, toughest roles yet in a film often likened to Die Hard for its holiday-themed high-octane thrills, suspenseful story with tons of epic and explosive action to boot.
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.

The news comes three months after Lynch Instateased a few new stills from the film’s production, for which Hayek reportedly received exclusive training in twenty different weapons with special forces in Belgrade, Serbia where the film was shot and completed. “You’ve never seen me like this before,” said Hayek in a previous statement last year. “And I love it. Because you really see a transformation in this character that’s noticeable and shocking. I become a badass.”.
