EXCLUSIVE: DeskPop Entertainment has acquired thriller Murder Motel, starring Oscar-nominee Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), Alexandra Grey, Jeremy Luke, James Russo, Noel Gugliemi, Nicholas Turturro, Glenn Plummer, Naomi Grossman, Jaime Zevallos, and Leila Almas Rose.
Home ent and genre specialist DeskPop will release on DVD and VOD on August 6th. This film was written and directed by Paul Tully.
The synopsis reads: “Engulfed in a gritty world as the prey of ruthless drug dealers, Mickey, a Neo-Nazi meth dealer, and Tonya, a beautiful trans woman, find themselves falling in love while seeking redemption in a 72-hour race against the clock.”
The deal was negotiated between Jared Safier, CEO of Safier Entertainment, and Mat Levy, Executive Vice President of DeskPop Entertainment. The film was produced by Jaime Zevallos and Leila Almas Rose, and executive-produced by Micaiah Robnett, Judd Azoulaya, and Jared Safier.
Mat Levy, Executive Vice President of DeskPop Entertainment, said: “We are elated to be bringing this tense and relevant thriller to audiences nationwide. Mickey Rourke is very at home in the badass villain role we love to hate him in – and Jeremy Luke and Alexandra Grey have a fiery chemistry that lights up the screen. This film has something for everyone… except kids. Maybe keep the kids away.”
“We’re very excited to be partnering with DeskPop on another film,” added Jared Safier, CEO of Safier Entertainment, which handled sales. “We can’t wait for the world to see this unique film with Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke leading its all-star cast.”
