Content Film announced today that they will be selling worldwide rights to Dan Bush’s upcoming heist thriller The Trust at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. Co-written by Bush (The Signal) and Conal Byrne (The Proxy), the film is produced by Culmination Productions’ Tom Butterfield and Redwire Pictures’ Luke Daniels. Content’s Jamie Carmichael serves as Executive Producer.
The Trust is described as being an action-packed supernatural heist thriller, that tells the story of the Dillon Brothers: Adam, ex-military, has just picked up his career criminal brother Isaac from prison, when they learn that their troubled older brother Michael has burned down a warehouse owned by a notorious gangster. The brothers find themselves on the hook for an outrageous sum of money and have only two weeks to get it, or Michael will die. So with nowhere to turn, they decide to rob the town’s biggest bank. Then all hell breaks lose…
“I love heist movies,” says Carmichael, “and this one takes the genre to a whole new level.”
“We are thrilled to be working with Content,” adds Butterfield. “Together we are hoping to take this genre, turn it on its head and give the audience a shock along the way.”
Pre-production is set to begin in April 2014.
