Nomis | Henry Cavill & Ben Kingsley

[Blitzkrieg]

Saban Films has obtained the U.S. distribution rights to Nomis, the David Raymond directorial debut feature that stars Henry Cavill and Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley. The psychological thriller, which has its world premiere as the closing night film at the LA Film Festival, also stars Alexandra Daddario, Stanley Tucci, Minka Kelly, and Nathan Fillion. Written by Raymond, the plot follows Marshall (Cavill), a weathered Lieutenant, and his police force as they investigate a string of female abductions and murders linked to an online predator. As new leads emerge and the case unravels, Marshall teams with local vigilante (Kingsley) in pursuit of vengeance.

Producers are Robert Ogden Barnum, Arise Pictures’ Chris Pettit and Buffalo Gals’ Jeff Beesley, and Rick Dugdale. The pic will be released in theaters though the exact date has yet to be confirmed.

Been waiting to hear more about this one for a while. I like the cast and I hope that it gives Cavill a chance to show off his acting chops a bit more.

This doesn't bode well for the movie. Has Saban Films ever gotten their fingers on a movie that wasn't a stinker, ot at best forgettable? Sincere question.

 

[Deck Rickard]

LOL, maybe Heathers?

Or something called Samurai Pizza Cats?

I just did a quick check and most of their output looks like direct to VOD action vehicles (I have only seen The Final Score and I quite liked it but it was kinda forgettable).

Yeah, just like I remembered.

The movie screened at the Los Angeles Film Festival this year and did not get good reviews.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Oh, Henry.

 

[-JKR-]

Oh, Henry.

I'm sure that people have noticed his great performance in "Mission: Impossible," and he's got the lead in a high-profile Netflix series. I'm sure he'll get better roles in the future. He deserves it. He chew the entire scenery in the last "M:I."

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah, I liked him in M:I a lot and I hope The Witcher does well. I think he would serve himself better by doing some non-action films though. This one appears to be more of a drama but I remember Henry posting an Instagram pic of him firing a machine gun while training for his role here so there will obviously be some action in it, and he's playing a cop. There's a short clip of this online, but not much one can really glean from it.

Oh, Henry. Maybe you shouldn't have balked at doing that Shazam cameo.
