EXCLUSIVE: Stoic is launching world sales ahead of the AFM on Paradise Disturbed, which will see Mindhunter star Holt McCallany return to the serial killer genre.
Stoic will be screening the completed film directed by James Khanlarian (The Ghost Trap) and based on the novel by James Robert Fuller. Also starring are Zak Steiner (Euphoria), Lily Donoghue (The Summer I Turned Pretty), and Xander Berkeley (Apollo 13).
The pic “follows retired legendary investigator Ron Lee (McCallany), who is pulled back into the dark world he had walked away from when a series of ritualistic murders target him. A tense cat-and-mouse game unfolds as Ron matches wits with a brilliant and sadistic killer who is waiting to unleash their final masterpiece in this game of death.” Below is a first look image.
The film is produced by April Aguilera, Couture, and Khanlarian. The film was a collaboration between Khanlarian Entertainment and Sweet Kop Films, with Larry Mortorff, Barry Krost, and Jonathan Clay Harris as executive producers.
“I can honestly say that working on Paradise Disturbed with this team was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. I can’t give Holt enough credit; he became Ron Lee,” said writer-producer Peter A. Couture II.
