Buckle up for Australian director Luke Sparke’s latest pedal-to-the-metal action thriller which has a day and date release in select US theaters and on VOD starting February 23rd, 2024.
Directed by Sparke, from a script written by Tom Evans, this high-octane road movie follows mild-mannered Driver (Barry Pepper) who works for a mob boss. His conscience is tested when he is asked to collect a young and unsuspecting new crew member known as Passenger (Jamie Costa) one week after a violent robbery. What Passenger doesn’t know is that he is being driven into an ambush, forcing Driver to confront his loyalties to his boss and his own morality.
To celebrate the release, CinemaChords sat down with Sparke who discussed his motivations for directing his first non-original script, how he went about setting the film in the US whilst filming it in Australia, and how he was so impressed by the result that he’s now gearing up for upcoming creature feature Scurry with some of the same creative team.
