LOS ANGELES: Actors Scoot McNairy, Josh Lucas and Kit Harington are set to play the lead roles in filmmaker Rod Blackhurst’s motion thriller film “Blood for Dust”.
According to Variety, the movie is written by David Ebeltoft, from a narrative he co-wrote with Blackhurst. It facilities on former buddies — Cliff (McNairy), a touring salesman struggling to make a dwelling, and Ricky (Harington), an illegal-weapons seller making some huge cash — who reconnect at some point.
Hoping to make some fast money, Cliff agrees to associate with the violent Ricky, who’s increasing his enterprise to incorporate cross-state drug and gun deliveries for John, a mid-level American cartel boss (Lucas).
“Reluctantly he agrees to retrofit his beat-up station wagon to carry dozens of kilos of drugs. When Ricky turns a simple exchange into a bloodbath to eliminate the competition, Cliff is forced to grapple with a harsh new reality,” the plotline reads.
Noah Lang, Mark Fasano and Bernard Kira are producing the undertaking. Executive producers are Ford Corbett and Ebeltoft.
“While ‘Blood for Dust’ is a story born from the realities of our times, it’s also a pulse-pounding thriller about family, pain, greed, mobile defibrillator units, the American dream and its contradictions therein,” stated Blackhurst.
“I’m beyond grateful to be getting into the trenches alongside Scoot McNairy, Kit Harington and Josh Lucas —all of them fathers, like myself, working to take care of our families while anxiously wondering what the future of our times has in store as we tell this parable of America,” he added.
“Blood for Dust” will begin filming in September within the US.
