A locally shot movie is getting major attention tonight.
Entertainment Tonight Canada is to air clips from its interviews with actors Corey Haim and Frank Molina, who star in the film American Sunset, as well as with producer Jackie Giroux. The interviews took place in Los Angeles on July 14.
Parts of the movie were shot in Fredericton and Kings Landing.
American Sunset is described by the producers as a “suspense-filled turnstile” about a man battling his emotional demons amidst his wife’s abduction.
Haim plays Tom, an artist on the edge as the police are unable to help find his wife Samantha, played by Angela Cullins. He hires an ex-soldier back from Iraq, Arturo, played by Molina to help.
The film was shot by Global Universal Inc., which last year completed principal photography in the Fredericton region on a film entitled Blue Seduction, starring Billy Zane and Estelle Warren.
Giroux, who’s from New Brunswick, produced both films. She has expressed a desire to continue working here.
“Being from New Brunswick, I know the potential to establish a vibrant presence is here and offers a great source of revenue for this province” she said.
American Sunset will be released this fall on Pay TV, cable or DVD.
“Isn’t it ironic?” laments Alanis Morissette, but living proof is soon to be displayed, for all to see, by Angela Cullins, as the lead actress in the Global Universal Inc. feature film “American Sunset”. Playing alongside the reenergized Corey Haim and New York’s dynamo Frank Molina in this suspense-filled thriller, written and produced by Jackie Giroux, Cullins is ecstatic. “My dream is coming true, hell it’s every actor’s dream, to have a lead role in a major production,” proclaims Cullins. “I have to almost pinch myself because not only has it happened but to have it happen here in New Brunswick is surreal!”
