Voltage Brings “Standoff” to AFM

EXCLUSIVE: Voltage Pictures arrives at the AFM with international rights to the thriller Standoff starring Laurence Fishburne and Thomas Jane.

 

The Last House On The Left writer Adam Alleca directs from his own screenplay.

 

Standoff centres on a grieving combat veteran played by Jane who offers shelter at his farmhouse to an orphan on the run from Fishburne’s sadistic assassin. Paradigm represents US rights.

 

Glacier’s Tove Christensen is producing alongside Lee Clay, Eric Gozlan and Michael Wexler. The project is in post.

 

Christensen’s American Heist starring Adrien Brody and Hayden Christensen premiered recently in Toronto where Saban Films acquired North American rights.

 

Voltage Pictures’ AFM slate features action title Blunt Force Trauma with Ryan Kwanten, Freida Pinto and Mickey Rourke and the Cabin Fever remake.

 

The sales roster includes sci-fi thriller Prisoner Of War, which Voltage is producing with Automatik’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and 42’s Rory Aitken and Ben Pugh, and Fathers And Daughters directed by Gabriele Muccino and starring Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Aaron Paul and Diane Kruger.
