The US company has closed key territories on
the Croisette on its Sean Bean political thriller from Look To The Sky
Films and co-produced by Gold Star Productions.
Rights have gone in the UK (Signature Entertainment), Italy
(Minerva), Middle East (Eagle Films) and former Yugoslavia (Dexin
Films), with talks are ongoing for France. Pacific Northwest Pictures
holds all Canadian rights.
Jason Bourque co-wrote and is due to
start shooting in India this week on the story of a high-level private
contractor who unbeknownst to his family flies covert drone missions and
is confronted at home by a businessman who believe he is behind a
strike that killed his family. Patrick Sabongui also stars.
Bourque co-wrote the script with Paul A. Birkett. Production will relocate to Vancouver when the India portion wraps.

leading role and that Jason Bourque will do a great job directing this
compelling material which ultimately addresses issues of justice and
human values around the world,” said Myriad president Kirk D’Amico.
