Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired U.S. rights to the Welsh crime thriller The Toll from Great Point Media out of last month’s Pre-Cannes Screenings, reports ScreenDaily.
Welsh filmmaker Ryan Andrew Hooper’s directorial debut is “a darkly comic thriller about a lone toll booth operator with a past that is fast catching up with him.”
Kill List’s Michael Smiley stars alongside Annes Elwy, Iwan Rheon, Paul Kaye, Julian Glover and Steve Oram.
The site adds that “Great Point Media has a deal for UK-Ireland and Australia-New Zealand with Signature, which will release the film in late August in the UK and Ireland.
“Shot in late 2018, it is written by Matt Redd, and produced by Mark Hopkins and Vaughan Sivell of Western Edge Pictures. Backers include Ffilm Cymru Wales and the BFI.”
