LITTLE DIXIE: Frank Grillo Is A Man Out For Revenge In The Official Trailer
Body Brokers and Ida Red helmer John Swab is back once again with actor Frank Grillo who now leads the way in their latest thriller, Little Dixie. The film also stars Eric Dane, Beau Knapp, Annabeth Gish, Peter Greene, Thomas Dekker, Mercedes Mason, and Maurice Compte, and is currently set to release on digital and on-demand from Paramount Movies on February 3, but not before premiering at the 52nd Rotterdam Film Festival which kicks off next month.

And with it, some solid acting to boot with a cast led by Sofia Hublitz (“Ozark”), William Forsythe (The Devil’s Rejects, Raising Arizona), and the amazing Deborah Ann Woll (“True Blood”), along with a raft of scene stealers by actor Frank Grillo (Boss Level, The […]
