Academy-Award Nominee Toni Collette (pictured above) (The Sixth Sense, Little Miss Sunshine, United States of Tara), Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tracy Letts (Homeland) and Sam Trammell (True Blood) join Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter franchise, Horns) in director/co-writer Daniel Ragussis ‘s upcoming feature film IMPERIUM, to be distributed by Lionsgate Premiere, the Company’s newly-launched specialty film label utilizing a mix of traditional and multiplatform release strategies.
Daniel Radcliffe stars as the title character, Nate Foster, a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where he specializes in domestic terrorism and covert operations. Toni Collette joins as a veteran battle-hardened colleague FBI Agent Angela Zampino, with Tracy Letts joining as Dallas Wolf, a modern-day leader of the white supremacy movement and Sam Trammell plays Jerry Conrad a seemingly normal suburban Dad who is also the local Ayran youth recruiter.
Based on true events, IMPERIUM focuses on the FBI agent as he goes undercover and joins a white supremacist group in order to expose a sizable terrorist plot to create a dirty bomb. The bright up-and-coming analyst must confront the challenge of sticking to a new identity while maintaining his real principles as he navigates the dangerous underworld of white supremacy.
The script was co-written by former FBI agent Mike German whose counterterrorism activities during his 16-year tenure inspire the plot of the film.
IMPERIUM commences production this month in Hopewell, Virginia and is executive produced by Andrew Mann, Jeff Elliott, Chad Moore, Barry Brooker and Stan Wertlieb in addition to Eric Gold and Warren Goz of Sculptor Media. The film is produced by Atomic Features and Tycor International Film Company producers, TY Walker, Dennis Lee and Simon Taufique. Green-Light International is handling foreign sales and brokered the domestic Lionsgate deal. IMPERIUM will be released by Lionsgate Premiere.
