Canadian director Allan Ungar has lined up his next project, action thriller Decoy.
Produced by Michael Bien of Toronto’s Cedarvale Pictures and Toronto-born Andrew Gunn, through his California-based Gunn Films, Decoy follows a young identity thief who finds himself hunted by the NSA. Angela Donald of Toronto’s Henry Less Productions is also serving as a producer.
HLP+ partners Henry Less and Sissy Federer will exec produce alongside Tom North, and Tannaz Anisi and Greg Schenz of L.A.-based 13 Films. The film will be introduced to buyers at TIFF, with 13 Films handling international sales.
Written by David Benullo, from a story by Benjamin Shahrabani, the script was on the 2014 Hit List, which tracks popular spec scripts. The action thriller stars Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and Andy Garcia (Passengers).
Ungar most recently wrote and directed Gridlocked, which was acquired by Netflix and released last summer.
