New sales outfit Lucky Number 8 Media, a joint venture between Lucky Number 8 Productions and Luminosity Pictures, will launches EFM sales on the prison siege thriller Eleven Days starring Taylor Kitch, Diego Luna, Jason Isaacs, and Golden Globe winner Rhea Seehorn.
Based on the book 11 Days In Hell by William T Harper, Eleven Days tells the true story of one of the most harrowing prison sieges in American history. Kitsch plays Jim Estelle, the newly-installed head of the Texas Department of Corrections who is thrust into a standoff at the State Penitentiary in Huntsville when notorious narco kingpin Federico Carrasco (Luna), ignites a hostage crisis as part of a meticulously planned escape.
Estelle is forced into negotiations to save the lives of inmates and prison personnel including the prison’s priest (Isaacs) and librarian (Seehorn). The cast includes Jennifer Carpenter, Jeffrey Donovan, Lola Kirke, Tenoch Huerta, John Gallagher Jr., and Richard Cabral.
