Fraser Beginning 'End of the Night'
Thriller gets a lead and several others.
Brendan Fraser is scheduled to start Millennium Films' production of Journey to the End of the Night in Sao Paolo, Brazil, September, 2005. A gritty thriller of betrayal beyond redemption set against the harsh backdrop of a South American city defined by drugs, money, sex, and corruption, Journey to the End of the Night pits a tortured son against his father as they separately develop plans to escape the desolation of their lives through a lurid underworld.
Mos Def is in negotiation to star and compose the score for the film. Also in negotiation is Oscar nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno.
Scott Glenn and Alice Braga also join the cast.
The film is written and will be directed by Eric Eason. His first feature film, Manito, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival where it won the Special Jury Prize and went on to receive 14 other awards at festivals around the world. The first annual Tribeca Film Festival in New York City named Eason Best Emerging Filmmaker for writing and directing Manito, which was released in 2003.
Journey to the End of the Night will be produced by James Acheson, Frank DeMartini and Richard Gladstein. Executive producers are Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Danny Dimbort & Boaz Davidson for Millennium Films and Simon Millar & Adam Shulman of The Firm.
