Ellen Wander, CEO of Film Bridge International (Winnie Mandela, Misconduct) and Gabriela Revilla Lugo of Revek Entertainment (The Tribes of Palos Verdes, The Last Weekend in May) announce the upcoming feature Trick, a horror thriller to be directed by genre master Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine, Drive Angry) and written by Todd Farmer, alongside Lussier.
The story centers on an elusive serial killer, who descends upon a small town annually, bringing terror and death. He is responsible for gruesome murders year after year, each in different jurisdictions and seemingly unrelated. Dermot Mulroney (The Family Stone, The Wedding Date) plays Detective Mike Denver, who puts his works before anything else in life, including his own marriage. Detective Denver has faced Trick once before; he shot and killed him–or so everyone keeps telling him. Against everyone else’s judgement, he is convinced that Trick is not only alive and well, but he’s coming back for revenge.
“After much discussion with Director Lussier, Dermot was the only choice for this role and we are ecstatic that he was able to take on the project.” stated Wander.
Director Patrick Lussier’s lengthy and accomplished résumé includes several of the most successful horror films and television programs in recent years, mainly as an editor for the Scream franchise, Red Eye, New Nightmare, and Cursed. Mulroney has starred in over 70 films in a career, spanning more than 3 decades. Most recently, he filmed an episode for the highly anticipated Amazon series “Homecoming” starring Julia Roberts. Writer Todd Farmer has worked with Patrick Lussier previously on several genre films, including My Bloody Valentine and Drive Angry.
Ellen S. Wander of Film Bridge International will produce and handle worldwide sales for the film. Gabriela Lugo will also serve as producer. Additionally, Film Bridge International has partnered Chimney’s Fredrik Zander to handle post-production.
