Ketchup Entertainment has acquired North American rights to the thriller Misdirection, starring Frank Grillo (Superman), Olga Kurylenko (Oblivion), and Oliver Trevena (Plane), slating it for release later this year.
Directed by Kevin Lewis, the filmmaker best known for his Nicolas Cage-led genre-bender Willy’s Wonderland, Misdirection follows a couple driven to carry out a series of high-end heists to pay off a dangerous mob debt. When their latest break-in — targeting a prominent defense attorney— spirals out of control, the pair find themselves caught in a web of secrets, deception, and deadly consequences.
Trevena’s Ollywood Media produced alongside Steven Shapiro, with Ollywood and Evolution Pictures finalizing the deal.
“We’re delighted to be bringing ‘Misdirection’ to audiences across North America,” said Gareth West of Ketchup Entertainment. “It’s a lean, tense thriller with a great cast and just the right kind of twisty energy that keeps you hooked.”
Said Evolution Pictures CEO Fred Hedman, “We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Ketchup on ‘Misdirection’. At Evolution, we’ve always championed bold, elevated storytelling, and this high-concept thriller is no exception. With Ketchup’s passion and track record, we’re confident this is the perfect home to bring our vision to life.”
