KUALA LUMPUR: In an effort to penetrate the mainstream North American market, KRU Studios is collaborating with a Hollywood-based film studio, Enso Entertainment, to co-produce a feature-length film titled, Deadline.
Directed by Sean McConville, the psychological thriller boasts Hollywood A-listers in its cast, including Brittany Murphy (of Sin City and Just Married fame) and Thora Birch, whose credentials included the 1995 Now And Then and American Beauty in 1999. Others in the cast are Emmy Award nominee Tammy Blanchard and Marc Blucas.
KRU Studios president and chief executive officer Norman Abdul Halim said the partnership developed after he met film producer Roger Betterton of Enso Entertainment at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California, last year.
"Enso Entertainment fitted the diverse production criteria of KRU Studios," said Norman.
He added that KRU Studios was constantly seeking opportunities to diversify and provide a comprehensive range of services related to the media and entertainment industry.
Deadline has included an elite crew of production personnel, including director of photography Ross Richardson, who has worked with Tinseltown heavyweights Elton John and Michael Jackson. The production has also enlisted the assistance of renowned production designer and art director Steve Arnold, whose credits include Spiderman and Van Helsing.
Yusry Abdul Halim will demonstrate his visual effects capabilities as visual effects director for the movie.
Filming began on June 3 in Louisiana, New Orleans.
"This is a major stepping stone for the Malaysian film industry and we hope to attract more international affiliations in the future," said Norman.
Deadline is slated for release in Asia and the United States next year.
All the best KRU...
