‘A Rush Of Blood:’ ‘Superstore’ Actor Mark McKinney And ‘I Hate Suzie’s Daniel Ings Set For Comedy From ‘To Lesie’ Producer
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Actors Mark McKinney (Superstore, Kids in the Hall) and Daniel Ings (I Hate Suzie, Love Sick, Sex Education) have signed on to star in the comedy road movie A Rush of Blood.
We understand British filmmaker Tristan Shepherd will direct the pic from a screenplay he also wrote. Billed as a “comedy, thriller, road trip movie,” the plot follows a British-Canadian couple, who get their last shot at fulfilling their professional ambitions — and any hope of reinvigorating their marriage — when their independent film is selected for Sundance.
However, when they accept a ride to Park City with Reegan, a young, self-styled film reporter, who becomes increasingly maniacal as the journey unfolds, their dream slowly turns into a nightmare – more frightening than any film plot they could have ever devised.
McKinney will play a character named Larry, while Ings will suit up as a character named Barry. Producers on the pic are Daniel Fazio for Loft Films, Henry Hereford (To Leslie), and Sidney Chiu (Love Jacked).
