Jesse V. Johnson is directing from a script by George Mahaffey about a former CIA chief (Eckhart) who uncovers the truth behind his wife’s death. Starting from scratch, he must re-team with his former protege (Pettyfer) and a rogue agent (Kurylenko) to decipher a conspiracy that may change his life forever.
Filmology and Ashland Hill are co-financing Chief Of Station. Steve Lee Jones is producing and executive producers are Shreder, Jack Christian and D.J. McPherson. Tyler Condon and Kevin Human are co-producing.
Concourse Media CEO Shreder said, “Chief Of Station is an elevated action thriller that will deliver large-scale stunt sequences and exhilarate audiences on a new level. Right now there is only a small delta in the marketplace between a $5m-$7m action film and a $12m-$15m action film. We are going to be showcasing what can be achieved with the latter that blows people away.”
