Rampage’s Foursome tees off

Langley, BC – Shooting on the comedy feature The Foursome wrapped Dec. 3 after three weeks. Produced by Vancouver’s Rampage Entertainment and adapted from the Norm Foster play, the picture is about four buddies who get together for a round of golf – but all bring their spouses.

According to producer Carrie Wheeler, the fall weather in Langley has cooperated for the mostly outdoor shoot. This is the former talent agent’s first feature.

Rampage’s Gavin Wilding (Suddenly Naked) is the supervising producer, while Bill Dear (Harry and the Hendersons) directs. Kevin Dillon (Entourage), John Shaw (Da Vinci’s Inquest), Chris Gauthier (Ill Fated) and Paul Jarrett (On the Corner) star with Ellie Harvie (Terminal City).

The script was adapted by writer/actor Jackson Davies (A Beachcombers Christmas), remaining faithful to Foster’s play except for the inclusion of the golfers’ significant others, who are only referred to in the stage version.

Funding for the $4-million film, shot entirely at the Newlands Golf & Country Club in Langley, came from presales to The Movie Network and Movie Central, along with B.C. Film, the CanWest Western Independent Producers Fund and Rampage.

Wheeler says the filmmakers are hoping for a theatrical run before the pay-service premieres. Screen Media is the film’s Canadian distributor.

Rampage has two other features in development – the supernatural thriller Wilson and the comedy Drake Diamond: Exorcist for Hire. Dustin Dinoff
