From Mothman to MOM. Deadline reports today that Mark Pellington (The Mothman Prophecies, Arlington Road) has set up his next project, an action-revenge thriller titled MOM.
Pellington is directing the film for Roundtable Entertainment.
The “adrenaline-fueled” story follows a single mother who embarks on a daring cross-country rescue mission, piecing together clues in the search for her teenage daughter who has fallen victim to the horrors of human trafficking.
“We had been looking to do a movie that felt like a throwback to a movie like Rolling Thunder – something real, gritty, and of the moment; we were thrilled that Gabe Torres brought us this harrowing tale which is based on true events – and straight out of screenwriter Brent Jordan’s life experience. And Mark is the ideal partner for the material,” said producer John Baldecchi.
Pellington added in his own statement, “MOM is a fast-moving story of protection and revenge. The film explores the true price of violence and the cost of justice when an ordinary mom is pushed to an extraordinary place. This is a muscular, intense dramatic thriller with a commanding lead role that is emotional, relatable, and grounded. I’m hungry and humble and super pleased to be collaborating with Roundtable on this piece.
“From Arlington Road to Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,” I love to create intense dark action with emotional power and a brain and feel that MOM continues in that thrilling lineage of my work.”
Executive Producers include Dominic Ianno, Jason Resnick, Sarah Donnelly, Gabe Torres, and Mark Pellington.
