‘Get Shorty’ starring Chris O’Dowd & Ray Romano in Production in New Mexico
17 Jan 2017 : Katie McNeice
The series which will run on US channel Epix is an adaptation of a 1995 feature of the same title, which was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and starring John Travolta (Grease) and Gene Hackman (Welcome to Mooseport).

The new ten-episode series from MGM TV was ordered by Epix in May 2016 and is currently in production Albuquerque, New Mexico. Filming is expected to continue until May 2017.

‘Bridesmaids’ actor O’Dowd stars as Miles Daly, a muscle man for a Nevada crime ring who tries to change his life for the sake of his daughter. This sees him pursue a career as a movie producer, accidentally introducing his criminal lifestyle to Los Angeles.

‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ star Ray Romano is taking the role of Daly’s partner, who guides him through the business of Hollywood.

‘Get Shorty’ is directed by Allen Coulter (Remember Me), produced by Sara E. White (Iron Man) and executive produced by Davey Holmes (Shameless), who has also written the script.

Mark S. Greenberg, President and CEO, EPIX:
“It’s an incredible opportunity to partner with MGM on Elmore Leonard’s timeless classic, which will be re-envisioned Davey Holmes and directed by Allen Coulter. Ray and Chris are a dynamic team and with a strong supporting cast, we are anticipating that “Get Shorty” will be another example of the type of high-end, premium TV that EPIX is committed to delivering to its audience.”
