EXCLUSIVE: Frank Grillo has joined Olga Kurylenko and Oliver Trevena for Kevin Lewis’ latest feature thriller Misdirection, which is currently shooting in Serbia.

The film follows a desperate couple (Kurylenko and Trevena) who have been pulling off a string of high-end robberies, only to find themselves caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse when their latest break-in goes awry. Tables turned, the hunters become the hunted, in a conspiracy of revenge, murder and betrayal.

“I am over the moon to be working with Olga, Frank, Oliver and the rest of our amazing and talented team on crafting a tight, edge-of-your-seat thriller that will entertain audiences worldwide,” Lewis said, who is best known for the recent horror-comedy cult film Willy’s Wonderland starring Nicolas Cage.

Lacy McClory wrote the script for Misdirection. Steven Shapiro (The November Man, The Road Dance) is producing along with Trevena (Another Day In America) via his Ollywood Media banner and Red Productions in Serbia. Trevena recently received the Breakthrough Actor award at the Rome Film Festival for The Paradox Effect, which he starred in with Kurylenko.

GFM Film Sales is handling worldwide sales with Fred Hedman exec producing.

“We’re delighted to be working with Kevin and producing this gripping thriller with the level of talent involved, adding to our growing slate of high concept genre films,” said Hedman.

Trevena added: “I am so excited to be working again with my recent co-star and friend from The Paradox Effect, Olga Kurylenko. With Frank Grillo on board, this will be a thrill ride both on the set and in the theater.”

Shapiro recently wrapped Worth the Wait, an ensemble romantic comedy starring Lana Condor and is in post-production on the romantic comedy The Islander, starring Harry Connick Jr. and featuring his original music.

Kurylenko is repped by Independent Talent Group, UTA and is managed by Untitled Entertainment. Grillo is repped by CAA and manager Bill Choi. Trevena is repped by Independent Talent Group and managed by Luber Roklin Entertainment.
