The dark crime-thriller Man in the Long Black Coat is on its way, featuring an all-star cast and centers on a teen accused of a vicious murder.
The film tells the story of a troubled teen accused of a shocking murder and the unlikely detective who seeks to prove his innocence and expose a far more sinister truth.
Mark Feuerstein (Royal Pains, Defiance), Neal McDonough (Yellowstone, Captain America: The First Avenger, pictured), Dermot Mulroney (Scream 6, My Best Friend’s Wedding), and Christopher Lloyd (Nobody, Back to the Future), have been cast in western crime-thriller Man in the Long Black Coat, from director Salvador Litvak.
Lee Broda of LB Entertainment (A Private War) is producing. LB is known for the critically acclaimed films Call Jane, The Card Counter, and breakout hit Lansky. Aimee Schoof and Isen Robbins of Intrinsic Value Films The Last Thing Mary Saw, Experimenter, and Blue Caprice will produce alongside. Natalie Marciano, also of LB Entertainment, will co-produce.
Litvak, who co-wrote the pic with his wife, Nina Davidovich Litvak, is best known for his acclaimed Passover comedy When Do We Eat? released in 2006. The film is considered a classic by the Jewish community, many of whom have compared it to It’s a Wonderful Life.
The filmmaker said this about the film currently in production, “Man in the Long Black Coat is a stylish, widescreen neo-noir-western thriller. I want to make the high desert of 2022 as iconic as John Ford’s Monument Valley. Strip malls, subdivisions, power lines, solar farms and highways, will take their place alongside sierra hills, arroyos, tumbleweeds, hawks and tortoises to etch this environment in the audience’s memory.”
M. Feuerstein is represented by UTA, Industry Entertainment and Ziffren Brittenham. McDonough by Luber Roklin Entertainment, Mulroney by Paradigm, Luber Roklin Entertainment, and Lloyd by Gersh.
