Cinedigm Acquires the Adventurous New Comedy SPY INTERVENTION
October 08 2019 - 1:30PM
Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) announced today that it has acquired
North American rights to
SPY INTERVENTION, a spy
comedy from the Producer of Salt and Enchanted Sunil Perkash,
and director Drew Mylrea. The film stars Drew Van Acker (TV’s
“Pretty Little Liars”), Poppy Delevingne (Kingsman: The Golden
Circle), Blake Anderson (TV’s “Workaholics”), Brittany Furlan (We
Are Your Friends), Max Silvestri (Table 19), and Natasha Bassett
(Hail, Caesar!).
Cinedigm will release the film in select theaters, on demand and
digital in February 2020, with a DVD release to follow later in the
year.
"SPY INTERVENTION is just such an adrenaline shot of pure
entertainment. With wildly creative and unique directing by Mylrea
and the incredibly elevated performances from the entire cast, we
anticipate audiences will be delighted with this clever and witty
film,” said Sunil Perkash, adding, "The incredible creative team
behind our film has made a truly stand out independent film I am as
proud of as any of my previous bigger studio releases."
In the film written by Mark Famiglietti and Lane Garrison, after
Corey Gage (Drew Van Acker), the world's greatest spy, suddenly
meets Pam Grayson (Poppy Delevingne), the woman of his dreams, he
decides to abandon his adventurous existence to settle for the
security of suburbia - a quaint way of life he's never known.
However, it doesn't take long for Corey to become completely bored
with many dinner parties, bowling, and the monotony of mowing the
lawn, and despite his best efforts to feign interest, his marriage
has become more of a chore than a cheer. When an evil plot to ruin
the world arises, Corey’s former colleague and best spy friend
(Blake Anderson) enacts a "spy intervention" to bring Corey back to
his old life for one last mission. Corey is all too eager to jump
at another chance to save the world, and possibly his listless
marriage. Adding to the cast of rising stars are Brian Sacca (The
Wolf of Wall Street), Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie), and Lane
Garrison (Shooter).
“SPY INTERVENTION is a reimaging of the spy genre,” said Yolanda
Macias, Cinedigm’s Executive Vice-President of Acquisitions. “It
has all the action and espionage audiences have come to expect plus
a lot of comedy and some romance as well. Cinedigm can’t wait to
provide a cinematic experience and blow the cover off this film in
February.”
Sunil Perkash also notes that “while there were several other
offers, Cinedigm won the bid with their passion and vision for the
picture.”
The deal was negotiated by Josh Thomashow, Director of
Acquisitions for Cinedigm, and Joanna Korshak and Christine D'Souza
Gelb from Endeavor Content. International rights will be handled by
Hyde Park Entertainment.
Perkash produces along with Ryan R. Johnson (Z for Zachariah),
Martin Sprock (Under the Silverlake,) Akaash Yadav, and Anil Yadav.
