U.K. production, sales and distribution outfit Signature Entertainment has acquired the U.K. and Irish rights to Samuel L. Jackson (The Hateful Eight) and Pierce Brosnan‘s (The World Is Not Enough) Western The Unholy Trinity from Film Bridge International.
The movie is set in the 1870s and tells the story of “a young man (who) returns to a Montana town to avenge the wrongful execution of his father and reclaim his fortune,” according to a synopsis. It also features David Arquette (Scream 3), Brandon Lessard (Classified) and Gianni Capaldi (Damaged).
The film, produced by Jeanne Allgood (Terminator Salvation), Kellie Brooks, Colin Floom (The Old Way), Michele Gray (Sugar Mountain) and Richard Gray (Murder at Yellowstone City), was written by Lee Zachariah (The Bazura Project) and directed by Gray.
The deal was negotiated between Signature Entertainment’s acquisitions and development executive Max Hart and Film Bridge International managing director Jordan Dykstra.
“With screen icons like Samuel L. Jackson and Pierce Brosnan leading the charge, Westerns like this rarely grace the independent market,” said Hart. “Packed with action, impressive production values, and a brilliant score, we can’t wait to bring this epic tale to U.K. and Irish audiences in 2025.”
Founded in 2011, Signature, led by founder and CEO Marc Goldberg, has become a key independent distributor in the U.K. and has expanded into production and international sales. Its recent releases include Lily James, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Himesh Patel comedy Greedy People; Aaron Eckhart action thriller Chief of Station; and indie horror movie Terrifier 3. The company recently also acquired action thriller The Prosecutor, directed by and starring Hong Kong superstar Donnie Yen (Ip Man), for the U.K. and Ireland.
