Primetime Emmy Award-Winner and Golden Globe Nominee, Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile, Maze Runner) will headline new mob thriller Bring Him to Me for director Luke Sparke and writer Tom Evans.
The Aussie lensed pic, shooting in Queensland, will also star Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders, The Piano), Rachel Griffiths (My Best Friend’s Wedding, Hilary & Jackie),
Liam McIntyre (“Spartacus: Vengeance”, “The Flash”), Jamie Costa (‘Kenobi’ fan film), Jennings Brower (Netflix ”Dreams”), and Zac Garred (Occupation: Rainfall), who is also co-producer.
Under orders from a ruthless crime boss, a getaway driver must battle his conscience and drive a young and unsuspecting passenger to an uncertain fate in Bring Him To Me.
“It’s so surreal to be able to work with Barry, Sam and Rachel. They are experts in their craft and will bring so much depth to their respective characters. I’ve been fascinated by morally grey stories like “Breaking Bad” and “Drive”, so when presented with the chance to dive deep into the underworld, I couldn’t resist bringing my own flavour to the genre toeing the lines of film noir and graphic novels”. said Luke Sparke.
Myriad Pictures has acquired international sales rights and will feature the pic at EFM in Berlin in February whilst Sparke Films is negotiating Australian and New Zealand rights.
“We are thrilled to be working with prolific writer/director Luke and this award-winning cast on this suspenseful action movie that is destined to delight fans of car chases and adrenaline pumping special effects,” says Myriad Pictures CEO, Kirk D’Amico.
Rounding out team Sparke are accomplished producers Carmel Imrie, Carly Sparke, along with Zac Garred as co-producer, and executive producers Geoff Imrie, Luke Sparke, Sean Virgin and Martin Walton.
