BRODIE'S LAW
(IN PRE PRODUCTION)
From the mind of Renny Harlin, director of DIE HARD 2 and LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, comes a big budget action spectacular in the style of current blockbusters 300 and SIN CITY.
Jack Brodie, a prison-hardened thief with a short temper and a bad attitude, hopes that a corporate espionage gig will be his ticket to a better life with his estranged, drug addicted wife and their son. The heist goes awry, but Brodie escapes with a secret project: the chemical formula PM13.
Brodie discovers that the heist was a setup; his wife has been killed and his son kidnapped. Fueled by revenge, and with the help of an alluring researcher, Brodie unlocks the secret of formula PM13. He infects himself with the formula, gaining the ability to absorb human DNA and take on the physical form and mind of whoever he touches.
In his desperate search for answers, Brodie becomes the very man who killed his wife and then a sultry dominatrix who lusts after the local crime boss. Before losing his own identity to these transformations, Brodie must confront the man behind this elaborate plot, rescue his son and save his own sanity.
Director: Renny Harlin
Cast: To be confirmed |
SURVEILLANCE
(IN PRODUCTION)
What if nothing is as it seems? What if the murderers are the ones you trust... waiting for the kill
Somewhere deep inside the Santa Fe desert there have been a number of blood curdling murders... a real killing spree.
The local police station is in disarray. Captain Billings, Officers Degrasso and Wright have apprehended three witnesses: Officer Jack Bennet, one of their own, tough, but affected by recent events; Bobby, young, high as a kite on cocaine; and Stephanie, eight years old, who has just witnessed her family being brutally murdered by two figures dressed in jumpsuits, gloves, boots, and horrifyingly disfiguring blue latex masks. Even though everyone is ready to go, they are still waiting... waiting for the Feds to arrive.
As the witnesses tell their stories one by one to the FBI agents who have now taken over, the murderous events unravel before our eyes. It becomes clear, little Stephanie knows something, something about the agents, Hallaway and Anderson.
And then two more bodies have been found...
