Brainstorm Media has picked up the action-thriller 72 Hours, directed by Christian Sesma and starring Sam Trammell and Twilight actor Cam Gigandet.
A Nov. 1 theatrical and on-demand release is planned for 72 Hours, which centers on two brothers — a dedicated FBI agent and a crypto international money launderer — putting aside their differences and joining forces to save their family.
But a dangerous mission deep into kingpin territory has them facing life-threatening challenges in a race against time. The ensemble cast includes Nicky Whelan and Jana Kramer (One Tree Hill).
“We are so thrilled to be working on 72 Hours with the Toric Films and Grandave teams. Christian is a director we’ve long been a fan of, and this movie has a lot to be excited about: kinetic action, an excellent cast, and a unique take on a classic premise that audiences will love,” Michelle Shwarzstein, Brainstorm Media CEO, said in a statement.
72 Hours is based on an original story by Roberto Sanchez, with the screenplay co-written by Sesma and Sean Crayne. Produced by Toric Films in association with Beacon Media, the film’s producers include David Wachs and Ojan Missaghi, with Manoj Narender Madnani and Gurpreet Chandhoke executive producing.
“Shooting a tight, action thriller in South Georgia with the team at Workhorse Cinema really allowed us to stretch the scope of our production and bring the crime heist genre to life. I’m very much looking forward to the general public’s response to what we really made sure was a family story about two brothers and their loyalty to one another above all else,” Sesma said in a statement.
The acquisition deal was negotiated by Tamara Nagahiro of Grandave and Alex Peters of Brainstorm Media.
