Shaun Paul Piccinino (Lionsgate’s American Fighter, Netflix’s That’s Amor and A California Christmas: City Lights) is directing the film based on an original story by Philippe Martinez, and scripted by Martinez and Michael Caissie.

Starring Michael Jai White and Jackson Rathbone, The Island recounts the story of an LAPD officer who takes down drug traffickers with his wise-cracking partner until his brother dies under mysterious circumstances. He returns to his island home to seek answers, and ultimately vengeance, in a bloody battle with the corrupt tycoon who has taken over the island paradise.

The film also stars Gillian White and Edoardo Costa. Producing are MSR Media’s Philippe Martinez and Highfield Grange Studios’ Alan Latham.

MSR Media first announced the film at MIPCOM as part of their four-title slate last month which you can learn more about here.
