EXCLUSIVE: Black Widow actress Olga Kurylenko and American Gangster actor Armand Assante are toplining Kevin Lewis’ latest feature thriller, Misdirection, which looks to shoot later this year.
Oliver Trevena is also part of the cast.
The pic follows a desperate couple (Kurylenko and Trevena), who have pulled off a string of high-end break-ins to pay off a mob debt. When they attempt to rob their latest victim, they find themselves caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse where the tables are turned and the hunters become the hunted.
“I am over the moon to be working with Olga, Armand, Oliver, and the rest of our amazing and talented team on crafting a tight, edge-of-your-seat thriller that will entertain audiences worldwide,” said Lewis, who is best known for the recent horror/comedy cult film, Willy’s Wonderland starring Nicolas Cage.
Lacy McClory wrote Misdirection. Marcus Englefield and George Lee produced for Storyoscopic Films (Animal Crackers, Danger Close) along with Trevena (Another Day In America), Michael Mendelsohn for Patriot Pictures (God Is A Bullet, Cut Throat City), and Matt Drake for Abbott Street Films. “Balls-to-the-wall thrillers are just so fun to make, and with Kevin Lewis at the helm, he is sure to deliver another exciting and wildly imaginative film. This is our third feature together and we look forward to bringing his vision to life on the big screen,” said Englefield and Lee, who previously collaborated with Lewis on the horror films The Accursed and Oak, the latter of which is currently in post-production.
EPs are Natalie Perotta (Cut Throat City, God Is A Bullet) and Fred Hedman (Paws of Fury, The Ledge). Union Patriot Capital is in talks to finance (subject to rights and sales). GFM

John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent Japan’s Hiroshi Teshigahara, who seemed on track for greatness after winning two Oscar nominations for “Woman in the Sands,” will be the subject of a San Sebastian Festival retrospective. Nominated for best foreign-language film in 1964, and winning Teshigahara a best director Academy Award nomination a year later, “Woman in the Sands” was just Teshigahara’s second feature, a social and erotic allegory which yoked the political convictions of Teshigahara and screenwriter Kobo Abe, both members of Japan’s communist party in their youth, with Abe’s penchant for the darkly surreal. Turning on an entomologist from Tokyo who discovers a young widow living at the bottom of an enormous sandpit on a deserted beach, it also won a Cannes Special Jury prize. Hailed as a masterpiece, and building on 1961’s “The Pitfall,” a political allegory which won Teshigahara fans, with Abe adapting his TV play, it looked like Teshigahara would find a niche on the same pantheon as contemporaries Nagisa Oshima and Shohei Imamura.
