Jason Sudeikis & Evangeline Lilly Board Thriller ‘Till Death’ For ‘Big Bad Wolves’ Director Aharon Keshales, Cinestate

EXCLUSIVE: I hear that Jason Sudeikis and Evangeline Lilly have been cast in Till Death, the action thriller being helmed by Aharon Keshales, who co-directed 2013 breakout Israeli horror Big Bad Wolves.

In the film, convicted felon Jimmy gets early parole after serving twelve years for armed robbery. Upon his release, he vows to give Annie, his childhood love, now dying from cancer, the best last year of her life – unfortunately it’s not that simple. Keshales penned the script with Navot Papushado and Kai Mark.

The project comes from Dallas-based producers Cinestate and Arts District Entertainment, and is fully financed by London-based Media Finance Capital.

UPHE Content Group has already snapped up world rights to the package. Pic will go into production in January 2020.

SNL grad Sudeikis is making something of a genre departure on this high-octane action pic, following recent drama roles in Kodachrome and Driven, alongside his comedy work.

After making his name with revenge thriller Big Bad Wolves, which he co-directed with Papushado, Keshales has been on the Hollywood trail and also has Studiocanal action pic Gunpowder Milkshake, with Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, and Michelle Yeoh, in post.

“Till Death has been my passion project for years and it finally found a home,” said Keshales. “I came up with the idea during my honeymoon. It’s a love story. Sort of. It’s a love story that got stuck in a Sam Peckinpah action-thriller.”

Roger Birnbaum of Art District Entertainment, and Dallas Sonnier and Amanda Presmyk of Cinestate are producing. The company’s credits include acclaimed western Bone Tomahawk, Mel Gibson starrer Dragged Across Concrete, and 2019 indie pic The Standoff At Sparrow Creek.

David Gilbery, Charles Dorfman, and Marlon Vogelgesang are executive producing for Media Finance Capital. Adam Donaghey (A Ghost Story) and Danielle Cox (VFW) are executive producing for Cinestate. David Guglielmo is casting.

UTA Independent Film Group packaged the movie and brought it to Cinestate and UPHE Content Group.

Sudeikis is represented by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners. Lilly is represented by UTA, Silver Lining Entertainment, and attorney Robert Offer. Keshales is represented by UTA and attorney Jonathan Gardner. Papushado is represented by UTA and attorney Cuffe Owens.

Movie name changed to "South Of Heaven".

IMDB shows a general release date of 2021, however production status is completed. Will possibly check this out.

It’s getting a 66 on Metacritic and 89% over at rotten tomatoes

This could actually be good!

Double checked it, removed my posts and reported the OP to update the thread title.

So they decided to pinch the title from Slayer instead of Obituary, okay.

What’s going on here?

This was a Megan Fox movie thread yesterday going by the name TILL DEATH

Now I gotta find that thread

Is it wrong to make a schlock shock film like this, give it the title South of Heaven, and not feature the Slayer song of the same name in the film? It somehow feels wrong to me

It is very wrong, but the filmmakers are repentless.

Wish this was a Slayer documentary!

Perfect title is perfect.

The silent scream as we are cast down in perversions of pain to spend seasons in the abyss gives way to unguarded instinct as we are reborn in the circle of beliefs in the new faith of the world painted blood by this movie. It may take violent pacification but when the stillness comes we will find bitter peace, and we will not succumb to the temptation to spill the blood of the overt enemy or seek payback by means of piano wire. In-a-Gadda-da-Vida.

I'm down for this. Great film to counter all the Ted Lasso positivity (which seems to be a Hollywood pitch necessity lately). Cast looks good and this makes me want to give Big Bad Wolves a rewatch.

Just watched South of Heaven. It is actually a decent little thriller. The film doesn't break any new ground, and it's all been done before, but Sudeikis committed performance grounds the film well enough to lift the effort just enough to make it interesting. 3/5 for me.

I was gonna say….I knew I had heard that title somewhere else! Not sure on the film. Maybe a rental someday.

They probably thought they stole it from Californication

[cheez avenger]

Just finished watching this on BD. Good little movie.

I seriously need to go back to elementary and take English again. I read South of Heaven as Song of the South. Earlier this week week I put into the search box pies looking for the word pious.

Site review is up! Agreed with the general consensus -- this is a decent little film and worth checking out.
