Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios Bags Joe Carnahan’s ‘Boss Level’ For U.S. Bow
by Anita Busch - April 16, 2018 10:29am

Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios has just acquired distribution rights to the $45M action/thriller Boss Level from writer/director Joe Carnahan. The film stars Frank Grillo, Ken Jeong, Mel Gibson, and Naomi Watts. The film will get a U.S. theatrical release next year from the studio. Entertainment Studios last released the controversial Chappaquiddick.

The company acquired the film from The Fyzz Facility and Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films. The film is about a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran (Grillo) trapped in a never-ending loop, resulting in his death every day. In order to stop his endless suffering, he must figure out who is responsible and stop them.

The film was financed by Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian with Randall Emmett and George Furla; therefore, it is a co-production between Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films, Di Bonaventura Pictures, Carnahan and Grillo’s War Party, and Scott Free (Jules Daly is exec producer).

In making the announcement, Allen said all the action and thriller elements come together with a great cast. “We are thrilled to have director Joe Carnahan at the helm to deliver what we believe will be a blockbuster.”

Allen’s ESMP currently has a multi-year output deal with Netflix, and recently released 2017’s highest-grossing independent movie, the Mandy Moore/Claire Holt shark thriller 47 Meters Down, which has grossed over $44 to date. It also released the critically-acclaimed Christian Bale western Hostiles. Upcoming releases include the Keanu Reeves sci-fi thriller Replicas and the John Krasinski/Emily Blunt-starring animated feature Animal Crackers.

The deal was negotiated by Chris Charalambous who is ESMP’s head of acquisitions and Wayne Marc Godfrey of The Fyzz Facility on behalf of Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films.

Joe Carnahan? Mel Gibson? Time loops? Everything about this project sounds like something I will really love.

(I just hope it's more Smokin' Aces/A-Team Carnahan rather than The Grey)

Hoke Moseley · 04-16-2018, 06:38 PM

Another Groundhog Day-esque movie, yawn.

But it's Carnahan, Gibson, and Watts... so I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Been there, seen that

Cremildo · 04-16-2018, 07:58 PM

Not a promising premise (duh!), but I like both Carnahan and Gibson.

Foggy · 04-16-2018, 08:01 PM

Premise is a tad underwhelming (guessing it’ll be doubling down on the videogame element though) but I’m all for anything Joe Carnahan does.

shinobipopcorn · 04-16-2018, 10:58 PM

So what do they mean by neverending loop? Car accident? Medical situation? War? Video game? Is this based on a book? I need more information.

I'm hoping for exactly the opposite.

Sounds awfully familiar, but I like the cast, so let's see...

PipesDonatello · 04-17-2018, 03:20 AM

Hopefully soon filmmakers will get burnt out on this type of premise and start making movies that rip off Memento.

L.J. · 04-17-2018, 10:26 AM

like the cast involved, specially Gibson. Sounds a lot like Source Code.

Grillo seems like he is not comfortable. The dialouge and line delivery is pretty bad. The vo is awful.

Yikes. What an awful trailer. Having said that though, the premise seems like it could be fun, and it is good to see Gibson as the villain. I'll check it out and I'll just hope that it's just an awful trailer, and not an awful movie.

Markgway · 10-11-2020, 02:52 PM

Edge of Tomorrow 2?

Foggy · 10-11-2020, 03:18 PM

Sucks that Joe Carnahan can’t seem to catch a break, film looks fun but that is one awfully put together trailer.
