Sam Rockwell will shoot his next feature in the City of Angels. The filming of ‘Tumor,’ a psychological thriller helmed by William Bridges, will take place in Los Angeles between February 17 and March 25 this year. Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay. Maisy Stella is also cast.
Based on the graphic novel by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Noel Tuazon, the story centers on private investigator Frank Armstrong, who barely gets by in Los Angeles’ seedy underworld. One day, a big case lands on his desk, which involves tracking down and recovering a drug kingpin’s daughter. If he can do it, he can finally upgrade from his one-dollar meatloaf. But the assignment arrives just as his fatal, late-stage brain tumor worsens. Frank must locate the girl and protect her while time slips away, allies become enemies, and the haunting memory of his murdered wife resurfaces in the eyes of a mobster’s daughter.
Sam Rockwell is one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood, with projects like ‘The White Lotus,’ ‘Argylle,’ ‘See How They Run,’ ‘Richard Jewell,’ and Jojo Rabbit’ to his name. His upcoming project is the adventure comedy ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die,’ directed by Gore Verbinski. The story follows a man from the future who arrives at a diner in Los Angeles to recruit the precise combination of disgruntled patrons to join him on a one-night quest to save the world from a rogue artificial intelligence. The movie also stars Zazie Beetz, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, and Juno Temple. Next in line is Martin McDonagh’s crime thriller ‘Wild Horse Nine,’ which also stars Parker Posey, Steve Buscemi, and John Malkovich. It is currently in post-production, awaiting a release date.
Maisy Stella charmed the audience with her performance as Daphne Conrad in the musical drama series ‘Nashville.’ She also starred in the comedy drama ‘My Old Ass,’ opposite Aubrey Plaza, and in Charlie Lightening’s musical comedy ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties.’ In her upcoming slate, she has David Robert Mitchell’s horror adventure movie ‘Flowervale Street,’ co-starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, and Maude Apatow’s ‘Poetic License,’ a comedy featuring Nico Parker, Leslie Mann, and Cooper Hoffman. While ‘Flowervale Street’ centers on a family in the 80s that starts to notice bizarre happenings in their neighborhood, ‘Poetic License’ follows two inseparable best friends who fall apart competing for the affection of a middle-aged mom auditing their college poetry workshop.
William Bridges directed ‘All of You,’ a love story set in the future, in which two best friends harbor an unspoken love for one another even after a test matches one of them up with their supposed soulmate. The movie stars Imogen Poots and Brett Goldstein. He also co-directed the anthology horror movie ‘Ultimate Zombie Feast.’ ‘Tumor’ is Bridges’s third feature directorial.
