International distributors will get a first look at action thriller “Gasoline Alley” at the upcoming Cannes Market. The film, which stars Bruce Willis, Luke Wilson and Devon Sawa, is represented by Highland Film Group.
The project was first announced at the European Film Market in Berlin, around the time that it was moving into production. Principal photography has now wrapped after set-ups in multiple U.S. locations.
The action follows a take-no-prisoners kind of company boss, played by Sawa, who is accused of a triple murder in Hollywood. He subsequently allies with the two tough detectives (Willis and Wilson) on his tail. And together they uncover a much larger truth than any one of them had imagined.
“Gasoline Alley” is directed by Edward Drake, who recently directed Willis in “Cosmic Sin.” The screenplay is by Tom Sierchio (“The Girl Who Invented Kissing”).
Corey Large and Sierchio are producing the film with BondIt Media Capital financing.

Bruce Willis, Luke Wilson and Devon Sawa are set to star in rollicking action thriller “Gasoline Alley.” Highland Film Group, which is handling international rights, is presenting the project to buyers at this week’s European Film Market (EFM).
“Cosmic Sin” helmer Edward Drake, who reunites with Willis for the film, directs from a script by Tom Sierchio (“The Girl Who Invented Kissing”). Production will begin in early March across the U.S.
Sawa stars as Jimmy Jayne, a “bruise-fisted” boss-type who becomes implicated in the triple murder of three Hollywood starlets drowned in a luxury hotel pool. As the prime suspect for homicide detectives Freeman (Willis) and Vargas (Wilson), Jimmy takes up his own rogue investigation, bending the law in ways the police can’t in order to clear his name.
But with the killer skating through Jimmy’s shadow, he bands together with the two detectives to dangerously...

The songs that Eric Whitney makes under the name Ghostemane are lacerating and distorted, drawing from the pummeling energy of hardcore, the murky atmosphere and triplet flows of Memphis hip-hop, and the scabrous, anxiety-inducing wing of electronic music. This combination hardly seems readymade for mass consumption, especially if you believe, as Whitney does, that there is an absence “of aggression and emotion” in the pop mainstream. But the singer-songwriter-rapper-producer and multi-instrumentalist, who built his career independently, now amasses more than 40 million streams a month across his catalog, so his managers...

After bringing blood-stained scares to Valentine's Day with 2009's My Bloody Valentine and raising hell in 2011's Drive Angry, director/co-writer Patrick Lussier and co-writer Todd Farmer tap into Halloween horror with Trick, which follows a detective tracking a mysterious and vicious killer who strikes every Halloween season over the span of several years. With the new horror film now in theaters and on VOD and Digital HD from Rlje Films, Daily Dead recently caught up with Lussier to discuss the movie's festive Halloween atmosphere, reuniting with the legendary Tom Atkins, and how the story for Trick originally came from a sequel idea to My Bloody Valentine 3D.
Congratulations on Trick, Patrick. It felt a lot like My Bloody Valentine 3D, with you and Todd Farmer going back to the slasher subgenre. Did you and Todd have this idea for a while, or was this something that you guys recently came up with?...

Indie filmmaker Jon Keeyes, whose credits include the well-received American Nightmare and Suburban Nightmare, sent along news that his latest chiller Fall Down Dead will receive limited theatrical release via his Highland Myst Entertainment and New Film International.
