RIDERS
View Quicktime Teaser View Real Player Teaser Natasha Henstridge Interview
RIDERS Future Film Financing participated
in pre-financing and equity funding against certain foreign territories
for this US$15 million heist thriller. Future Film Distribution has
purchased the UK distribution rights, and Future Post has completed
post-production. The remainder of the RIDERS press bits are in French. Unfortunately my French is very limited and somewhat dusty. Synopsis Un gang de quatre jeunes
malfrats, Slim, Otis, Frank et Alex, réalise des hold-up audacieux
et à haut risque. Ils parviennent toujours à échapper aux forces de
l'ordre grâce à une parfaite maîtrise des sports extrêmes. Rollers,
plongée sous-marine, base-jump, toutes les cascades sont bonnes pour
passer entre les mailles du filet ! Slim, le leader du groupe, cherche
à monter un dernier coup qui leur assurerait une paisible retraite
: cinq braquages consécutifs, en cinq jours, avec vingt millions de
dollars à la clé. Cette fois-ci, la police va déployer les grands
moyens pour les coffrer. Des tueurs à gages attirés par le magot vont
également rendre leur tâche difficile. L'affiche de "Riders" en exclusivité
