Leo Barraclough International Features Editor AGC Studios and Meridian Pictures has sold U.S. and Canada as well as Asia pay TV rights for the Brad Anderson-directed thriller “The Silent Hour,” starring “Suicide Squad’s” Joel Kinnaman, “1917’s” Mark Strong, “New Amsterdam’s” Sandra Mae Frank and “8 Mile’s” Mekhi Phifer, to the newly revitalized Paramount label Republic Pictures.
In the film, Kinnaman plays a Boston police detective who suffers an on-the-job accident that leaves him hearing impaired. Sixteen months later, he and his friend and partner (Strong) must battle Lynch (Phifer) and a team of corrupt cops attempting to eliminate a deaf murder witness (Frank) in the apartment building where she lives. “The Silent Hour” was shot in Malta and Toronto last year and is produced by Eric Paquette of Meridian Pictures and written by Dan Hall.
Executive producers include Stuart Ford, Miguel Palos, Michael Ewing, Aaron Barnett, Anderson, Blair Ward and Anders Erdén. AGC financed the movie with Orogen Entertainment. “Brad Anderson has delivered an action-fueled, twisting and turning classic crime thriller with elevated performances from Joel and Mark and an astonishing breakout role for Sandra Mae Frank.
Paramount’s Republic Pictures is the perfect home for the movie and we’re delighted they’re onboard,” Ford said. “Guided by the skilled direction of Brad Anderson, Joel Kinnaman, Mark Strong, Sandra Mae Frank and Mekhi Phifer deliver extraordinary performances, and I am thrilled for audiences to embark on this captivating cinematic journey,” Paquette said.
