Filming is now underway on the serial killer action thriller Damaged, which stars Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) and Vincent Cassel (Black Swan). The film is being directed by Terry McDonagh, whose previous credits include episodes of the TV shows Killing Eve, Better Call Saul, and Breaking Bad.
Jackson and Cassel are joined in the cast by Kate Dickie (The Witch), Gianni Capaldi (A Day to Die), and John Hannah (The Mummy). According to Deadline, Damaged will tell the story of a Chicago detective who goes to Scotland after an emerging serial killer’s crimes match those that he investigated five years earlier, one of which was the crime scene of his murdered girlfriend. They didn’t mention the name of the screenwriter.
This film is coming our way from Red Sea Media, Bondit Media Capital, and Stream Digital. Stream Digital’s Paul Aniello and Red Sea’s Roman Kopelevich are producing, while BondIt’s Luke Taylor and Matthew Helderman serve as executive producers with Marcie Sinaiko and Roman Viaris.
Kopelevich provided the following statement: “Love this project. We have been involved with it for several years and am proud to have attracted such an amazing cast and team. Can’t wait to bring it to our partners in the distribution world.“
Taylor and Helderman added: “Continuing our partnership with Roman and his team at Red Sea, we’re beyond excited about the incredible package for Damaged. The full creative team represent some of the strongest and most original voices in the industry that will deliver an exceptional finished film for the marketplace.“
And Aniello had this to say: “We are really excited and proud to be working with such a great team of people to bring this story to life. We have a great director; a great cast and script and we believe this will be a real success.“
