The trailer has dropped for Independent Film Company‘s Violent Ends, an upcoming Southern-set revenge thriller written and directed by John-Michael Powell (The Send-off). Set against the backdrop of the Ozark Mountains, the film follows Lucas Frost (Billy Magnussen – No Time To Die, Road House), a man raised in a crime family who tries to escape his past to build a life with his fiancée Emma (Alexandra Shipp – Anyone But You, Silk Road), only to be pulled back in after his cousin, Sid (James Badge Dale – King Ivory, “Hightown”), commits an armed robbery with devastating consequences.
The film also stars Kate Burton, Ray McKinnon, and Nick Stahl.
Violent Ends is produced by Vincent Sieber-Smith and Undine Buka, and executive produced by Catherine Fegan-Kim and Alex Kim via Midnight Road Entertainment, and Billy Magnussen via his production banner, HappyBad Bungalow.
Commenting on the partnership behind the release, Powell said:
“It’s a true honor to partner with Independent Film Company to bring Violent Ends to audiences. Their track record speaks for itself—they genuinely understand bold, filmmaker-driven storytelling and have consistently championed films that I love. From our very first conversation it was clear that they truly shared our team’s vision, and I couldn’t be more excited to start this journey with them as our partner.”
Violent Ends released exclusively in theaters on October 31.
