Vancouver, CANADA – February 27, 2018 – Imagination Park Entertainment Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTC: IPNFF) (FRA: GMS1) (“Imagination Park” or “Company”), the emerging Canadian content creator and distribution house, announced today that the Company and two of its senior executives have joined the elite production team of Andrea Di Stefano’s feature film directorial debut, THREE SECONDS, which through Aviron Pictures is slated to play in up to 2000 theatres across North America.
The film will be produced in association with Imagination Park and is expected to receive revenue as well as a percentage of the film’s net profits. Imagination Park’s Chairman of the Board, Gabriel Napora and Chief Creative Officer, Yas Taalat, are attached to the film as Executive Producers, and Board Director, Ben Lu, is attached as Associate Producer.
THREE SECONDS follows reformed-criminal and former special ops soldier Pete Hoffman who, in order to free himself from jail and return to his wife and daughter, has been working undercover for crooked FBI handlers to infiltrate the Polish mob’s drug trade in New York. In a final step towards freedom, Hoffman must return to the one place he’s fought so hard to leave, Bale Hill Prison, where his mission becomes a race against time when a drug deal goes wrong and threatens his identity as a mole.
The film is produced by Thunder Road Pictures (John Wick, Sicario) and Fyzz Facility (The Foreigner, Silence, The Survivalist) and stars Academy Award™ Nominees Clive Owen (Closer, Children of Men), and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), as well as Joel Kinnaman (Netflix hit series Altered State & House of Cards) and Common (Selma).
Yas Taalat stated: “It’s an honour to be joining forces with a team of esteemed and innovative producers whom I have admired throughout my career. Imagination Park is proud to support the entire creative team on this project and help bring this incredibly entertaining film to audiences across the globe.”
Gabriel Napora added: “This is a major strategic decision for Imagination Park. This film really excited us based on the proven stars, director, and storyline, which ensured massive theatre distribution. Additionally, the other producers of this film were responsible for production of both John Wick and Sicario. This is beneficial for Imagination Park because we are now part of a big film, which provides us tremendous visibility and leverage to do more deals in Hollywood.”
Jeff Rice, Advisor Board Member of Imagination Park added: “This recent affiliation is another clear indicator that Imagination Park is quickly becoming a recognized player in entertainment. The Company resume is on the fast track to generate even larger scale, revenue-producing deals."
Based on the best-selling Swedish novel by Anders Roslund and Börge Hellström, Di Stefano’s THREE SECONDS is a high velocity action thriller that explores crime from both sides of the law. It is slated for wide release in Spring 2018.
