Mel Gibson and Tye Sheridan Are Set To Star in a New Paramedic Thriller Called BLACK FLIES

Mel Gibson and Tye Sheridan (Ready Play One) are going to star in new thriller together called Black Flies which is based on the novel by Shannon Burke.

Black Flies tell the story of a young paramedic, Ollie Cross (Sheridan), who is “navigating his first year on the job. He’s partnered with Rutkovsky (Gibson), an experienced medic who thrusts Ollie into the harsh realities of New York’s inner-city streets. Amidst high crime rates, homelessness, and widespread drug use, Ollie finds his perspective on life and death beginning to shift.”

Sounds like it’s going to be a wonderfully depressing film! But, I like the films that Mel Gibson makes and Sheridan is a talented young actor that has been involved with some great film projects.

Black Flies will be directed by Jean-Stephane Sauvaire, who previously helmed the film A Prayer Before Dawn.
