Short synopsis
An action thriller about European fights without rules.
Alan grew up in a tough New York neighborhood and became
one of the best cage fighters. But now he's in a bad financial
situation and decided to try fighting without rules.
The toughest of these take place in Central Europe, in Prague.
Rick is an American promoter who helps him get there, and he
also puts together a team of filmmakers who will film everything.
The fights are a lot tougher than he expected, and because of this
he finds himself into a situation from which there is no escape;
the only thing that could help him is a miracle. He also finds out
that the fights are a cover for a much more profitable business
organized by the Eastern European mafia.
All of the actors must be unknown, and they must be very natural.
Ideal opportunity for fighters or stuntmen who wish to break into acting as well.
Description of characters:
Alan
American, age 20 to 35. He is still an active and very good judo fighter
who grew up in a neighborhood where he fought almost every day.
There were a lot of gangs in that neighborhood, but he didn't want to be in any of them. Thus he learned the foundations of other martial arts so that he could defend himself. He became a great fighter and even made his living by fighting in cages some time ago.
He is very ambitious and knows what he wants. He has a sense for family and is willing to take risks to help someone. He should be a larger athletic character with a high charisma, and he could also have tattoos. He is rather secretive character. We need someone who
is an athlete, fighter, stuntman, or extremely physically capable in order to make the fights look real. Types: The Rock, Vin Diesel, Tom Hardy, Channing Tatum, Jason Statham
Kenny
American (or English) age 25 to 35. An avid filmmaker who films all kinds of matches (street fights, cage fights, etc.) and is passionate about every thrilling filming. He should be of a small to medium build and is a bit quirky. He could be completely tattooed. He has a great sense of humor and almost never shuts his mouth.
Rick
American, age 45 - 55. It is apparent that at one time he was also a fighter, but it was a long a time ago. He is intelligent with manipulative tendencies. He is deceitful, but always manages to somehow excuse his lies, and he is able to justify everything to himself so that he never feels bad about doing something. He loves money and his world revolves around it. He is of a medium build. Could be italian mafia type like Ray Liotta or could be any Mafia type found in NYC.
Troy
American, age 25 - 40. Unpleasant to look at; a muscleman who isn't overly intelligentand who does everything he is told. He should be of a taller build. He is a former MMA fighter who had been caught several times for doping, and he's been banned from fighting professionally forever. He is very aggressive. Types: Stone Cold or Brock Lesnar. This could be a real fighter who wants to break into acting.
WE ARE ASKING FOR ALL ACTOR TO AUDITION IN ADVANCE AND
WE WILL HOLD CALL BACKS IN LA and NYC at the end of September.
