Ahead of its upcoming theatrical and On Demand release, we have an exclusive clip of the upcoming action-thriller from Screen Media, The Locksmith, starring Ryan Phillippe, Kate Bosworth, and Ving Rhames.
From first-time feature film director Nicolas Harvard (Hell or High Water, Whiplash), the movie follows Miller (Phillippe), an ex-con recently released from prison for a bungled robbery, who is trying to walk a straight line and work his way back into the lives of his ex, Beth (Bosworth), a police detective, and their young daughter. While Miller is doing his best to stay on the straight and narrow with the help of an old friend (Rhames), he finds his past will not stay in the past, and he is forced to commit one last crime before he can truly walk away. Once again, things go badly, and now not only his freedom but also his daughter’s life hang in the balance. The film also stars Gabriela Quezada, Madeleine Guilbot, and Charlie Weber.
Watch the full exclusive clip from The Locksmith below.
The Locksmith is based on an original story by Blair Kroeber, and the screenplay is written by John Glosser, Joe Russo, Chris LaMont, and Ben Kabialis. The film is produced by Mark David and Roger Goff, co-produced by Brandon David and Gordon Rausser, and executive produced by Daniel Cummings, Joe Russo, Walter Josten, Chris LaMont, and Caleb Wilson.
The announcement that Screen Media had acquired the rights to The Locksmith happened on May 19, 2022. “Director Nicolas Harvard has crafted a clever crime thriller that delivers what audiences want from a heist film and then goes above and beyond expectations,” said Screen Media in a statement posted on Variety. “Ryan Phillippe, Ving Rhames, and Kate Bosworth lead the film to surprising new heights, and we’re certain viewers will be locked in from the very beginning.”
“It’s a real honor to have Screen Media get behind this film as a theatrical release,” said Harvard. “Having them as partners from the get-go gave us the confidence to compose our shots and scenes for a big screen audience. It’s exciting to know that people are going back to the multiplexes in droves. This film will not disappoint.”
The Locksmith will be released in theaters and On Demand on February 3, 2023.
