EXCLUSIVE: Angus Macfadyen (Braveheart), Jamie King (Sin City), Doug Jones (The Shape Of Water), Corbin Bernsen (LA Law) and Angus Benfield (Inventing Anna), have signed on to star in action-thriller The Weight of Darkness, directed by Mark Furmie (Terminus).
Sean Rainwater and Mark Furmie penned the script with Angus Benfield and Simone Bonser aboard to produce. LAMA Entertainment Studios will arrange financing for the film and represent its U.S theatrical distribution rights. The film marks the first collaboration for LAMA Entertainment and Rezistor.
The film centers around Mark Besson (Benfield), a psychiatrist trying to encourage reform in the public health system. He is offered a helping hand from John Gatlin (Jones) a favorite mayoral candidate, with an interest in supporting Mark’s vision. But Mark’s world is soon rocked by tragedy when his young daughter Emma goes missing at a social event for victims of PTSD. Despite the efforts of the Sherriff Eli Watson (Bernson) and deputy Newman, Emma continues to remain missing.
Mark’s estranged brother Jim (Macfadyen), a church pastor, agrees to help an undocumented mother find her missing daughter, leading him to unravel a shadowy conspiracy that may lead to Emma’s whereabouts. The Besson brothers are soon forced to face the demons of their past, reconcile their differences and unite to find both missing children. But Mark and Jim’s relentless pursuit of hope leads them to uncover a sinister underworld of unspeakable evil.
Shooting for The Weight Of Dakness is currently underway in Los Angeles and will continue through April.
