LA-based Bleiberg Entertainment is at the EFM continuing sales on the action thriller Mexicali starring Australian martial arts expert Bren Foster, having previously closed the US deal with Samuel Goldwyn Films.
Deals have closed in Latin America (California Filmes), Middle East (Eagle), East Europe and Portugal (Daro), South Korea (Jaye Entertainment), France (Program Store), and India (Pictureworks).
Action veteran Jesse V. Johnson wrote the screenplay to the story of a former special forces contractor who is forced out of retirement as an avocado farmer in Mexico when local gangsters try to force him and his family off their farm.
Johnson’s longtime stunt and fight coordinator Luke LaFontaine makes his feature directorial debut and the cast includes Tania Raymonde, Plutarco Haza, and Kris Van Damme. Foster will next star alongside Luke Hemsworth and Russell Crowe in Lionsgate’s upcoming Beast In Me.
Goldwyn Films will release Mexicali on March 13. Bleiberg is screening the film in the market.
