'Bad Day for the Cut' filmmakers for new heist project with Legendary
Legendary has closed a deal on an Untitled project from Chris Baugh and Brendan Mullin who run Six Mile Hill Productions in Belfast. Chris is set to direct the project, while both Chris and Brendan will produce the Legendary title, which will focus on a heist. According to Deadline, the pitch is a subversion of the superhero genre where a group of career criminals stage a heist on the lair of a superhero and must escape with their lives when everything goes wrong.
Chris and Brendan's brilliant debut, gritty revenge thriller 'Bad Day for the Cut', was developed and produced through Northern Ireland Screen's New Talent Focus scheme and received funding support from the Northern Ireland Screen Fund and The Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
The film tells the story of a mild-mannered middle-aged Irish farmer, who still lives at home with his mother, who sets off on a mission of revenge when she is murdered. Shot in Belfast and Templepatrick, Bad Day for the Cut wowed audiences at Sundance Film Festival and became the first feature-length production made in Northern Ireland ever to be presented at the event.
The news of Chris and Brendan’s upcoming work with Legendary is a testament to their hard work and recognition of their talent on the global stage.
