Indie horror feature Night Patrol, from director Ryan Prows (V/H/S/94), has put together a stellar cast including scream king Justin Long (Barbarian, Drag Me to Hell, Tusk), Jermaine Fowler (The Blackening, Sting), RJ Cyler (Scream the series) and WWE superstar turned actor CM Punk (Girl on the Third Floor, Jakob's Wife).
Night Patrol, which wrapped principal photography in Los Angeles this week according to The Hollywood Reporter, also stars Freddie Gibbs (Down With The King), YG (White Boy Rick), Flying Lotus (Ozzy's Dungeon, Ash) Jon Oswald (Lowlife) and Nicki Micheaux (Lowlife).
According to THR:
In Night Patrol, an LAPD officer (Fowler) must put aside his differences with the area’s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harboring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.
Long plays the officer’s partner, recruited as a legacy into night patrol. Cyler stars as the officer’s brother, who sees what he isn’t supposed to see, while Mulroney plays Long’s character’s grandfather, a sergeant with many secrets. Punk rounds out the cast as the sergeant’s brutal right-hand man.
Producers include David S. Goyer and Keith Levine (via the duo’s Phantom Four banner) V/H/S‘ Josh Goldbloom, and James Harris and Mark Lane of Tea Shop Films (47 Meters Down). XYZ Films are executive producing, and will handle worldwide sales.
Prows, who co-wrote the script with Shaye Ogbonna (Fight Night), Tim Cairo (Off Ramp) and Jake Gibson (He Bled Neon), had this to say of his upcoming feature:
“Audiences are not ready for how hard this movie goes. To shoot this script, with this cast, on location in Los Angeles, after such a long path to get here is nothing short of a dream,”
