Morgan Freeman and Ruby Rose Team Up For The Action-Thriller VANQUISH
Morgan Freeman is teaming up with The Meg and Batwoman star Ruby Rose for an upcoming action-thriller titled Vanquish. The movie comes from writer and director George Gallo (The Comeback Trail, Midnight Run, Bad Boys) and it’s currently shooting on location in Biloxi, Mississippi.
In the movie, “Freeman plays a retired police commissioner who blackmails his caretaker (Ruby Rose) by kidnapping her daughter, forcing her into helping him double-cross his team of dirty detectives in an attempt to clean up the city.”
It’s great to see that Morgan Freeman is making a new movie! It’s always nice to see him grace the big screen with his presence. I also like that he’s playing a bad guy in this! He’s joined by a supporting cast that includes Nick Vallelonga, Miles Doleac, Patrick Muldoon, Juju Journey Brener and Julie Lott.
Producer Richard Salvatore said in a statement:
“With the state of the COVID world, we set out to make a contained thriller that could be made with the new protocols and wound up creating a non-stop action thriller with two amazing actors that are bringing our characters to life in a way we never had dreamed was possible.”
Producer David E Ornston added:
“As Indie filmmakers for the last 25 years, we thought we’ve faced every obstacle we could. But as seems to be the case…there is always a new challenge. COVID has made us rethink every aspect of our shoot. What has remained intact is a great cast, director and crew all co-operating as a team to make this terrific film.”
The director said:
“I have always wanted to do a tight and stylish action thriller. This is going to be a real fun ride and with performances by Morgan Freeman and Ruby Rose, the film is elevated to a higher level.”
