Mel Gibson and Frank Grillo's Sci-Fi Time Loop Action Film BOSS LEVEL Lands at Hulu
Hulu has picked up the U.S. distribution rights to writer and director Joe Carnahan’s upcoming sci-fi action movie Boss Level. The streaming service dropped eight-figures on the film, which has a great cast that includes Frank Grillo, Naomi Watts, Mel Gibson, Will Sasso, Ken Jeong, Annabelle Wallis, Michelle Yeoh, and Selina Lo.
In the film, Grillo plays a former special forces agent named Roy Pulver, “who is trapped in a time loop that constantly repeats the day of his murder. Pulver manages to uncover clues about a secret government project that could unlock the mystery behind his death but must find Colonel Ventor (Gibson), the head of the government program while outrunning assassins determined to keep him from the truth, and save his wife (Watts).”
I’m a fan of Carnahan’s wild filmmaking and storytelling style, and this sounds like it’ll be an entertaining flick. The movie did screen for an audience in Hollywood back in February of this year, where it generated some positive buzz. From what I’ve heard, this is a film to look forward to seeing.
Carnahan co-wrote the film with Chris Borey and Eddie Borey, and it had a $45 million budget. Boss Level will debut on Hulu in 2021.
