Thomas Jane, Theo Rossi, and Aubrey Joseph Star in a True Story Prison Break Thriller BOSCO
A new prison break thriller is coming that recently wrapped production titled Bosco. The cast for the film includes Thomas Jane (The Punisher), Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy), Aubrey Joseph (Cloak & Dagger), Tyrese Gibson (Fast And Furious franchise), Vivica A. Fox (Kill Bill), Nikki Blonsky (Hairspray) and Jim O’Heir.
The movie tells the true story of Quawntay “Bosco” Adams (Joseph). “Sentenced to 35 years for attempted possession of marijuana, Adams miraculously escaped from a Federal maximum-security prison while under 24-hour surveillance in solitary confinement with the help of an older woman (Blonsky) he met through a lonely-hearts ad.”
The movie was written and directed by Nicholas Manuel Pino, who said in a statement: “Bosco is an incredible human, not only because of his escape, but because of his passion and drive to better himself and the world around him. I hope we can carve out a unique, interesting space in the prison genre that reflects his distinctive journey.”
I’m not familiar with this story or the individual that it’s based on, but it certainly sounds like an interesting story that might make for a decent film.
