ACQUISITION
Freestyle Digital Media has acquired the domestic rights to “Danger One,” a dark comedy/action movie starring Tom Everett Scott, James Jurdi, Angélica Celaya, Damon Dayoub, and Denis O’Hare.
“Danger One” is directed by Tom Oesch and written by Steffen Schlachtenhaufen. Scott and Jurdi play paramedics who are both facing long hours, tough situations, and low pay. When they get a 911 call that leads them to discover a million dollars sewn into the clothes of a dying man, they decide to keep the money — only to find that when their colleagues, played by Celaya and Dayoub, learn of the plan, betrayal, and double crosses ensue.
Production companies are Mythmaker Productions and Silvatar Media. Producers include Dwjuan Fox, Naji Jurdi, Mark James, James Jurdi, Bradley A. Jabour, Michael S. Klein, Victor Najjarian, Saud Shawwaf, Chady Eli Mattar, Scott C. Silver, and David Willing. The film will hit select theaters nationwide on Sept. 14 along with all digital platforms.
The deal was negotiated by Miguel Johnson of Freestyle and by Mythmaker Productions.
