Hotel Tehran, the high-stakes action thriller starring Zachary Levi, Liam Neeson, and Quincy Isaiah, has been acquired by Inaugural Entertainment with plans for a wide theatrical release later this year.
Also starring in the film are Wes Chatham, Jake Choi, Augusto Augilera, Grant Harvey, Elnaaz Norouzi, Navid Negahban, Lara Wolf, Annet Mahendru, and Titus Welliver.
From writer-director Guy Moshe, Hotel Tehran follows a group of war-torn CIA operators mentored by “Larry” (Liam Neeson) and led by “Tucker” (Zachary Levi) who, after their mission in Afghanistan goes tragically wrong, enter the heart of Tehran to earn redemption by pulling off a daring rescue.
“Hotel Tehran is at once an exciting ride as well as a reflection about loyalty, redemption, and the human cost of conflict. While the film is a work of fiction, much of my own life and experiences informed the story, and I couldn’t have asked for a more committed group of actors and department heads to bring this vision to life. Inaugural fully supported our vision, and I am stoked with their release plan for it. We all believe Hotel Tehran will make for a great theatrical experience,” said Moshe.
Producer Matthew Zamias echoed the sentiment, saying, “From day one, we set out to create a nuanced, character-driven thriller with global scope. Inaugural Entertainment is the perfect partner to launch this film theatrically and position it for a major impact domestically.”
Moshe wrote the script with Mark Bacci (Prisoner’s Daughter) and Ron Hutchinson, from an original idea by Bazzel Baz (The Blacklist), a former CIA special operations group officer.
Zamias’ Astral Future produced the film alongside Latigo Films and Dreamtime Films in association with Oakhurst Entertainment, BondIt Media Capital, Eyevox Entertainment, Blue Rider Media, and Thomasville Pictures.
“We’re thrilled to bring Hotel Tehran to audiences nationwide,” said Kevin Weisberg, Founder of Inaugural Entertainment. “Guy Moshe has crafted a propulsive, globally resonant thriller anchored by an extraordinary cast. With Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson leading the charge, the film delivers both gripping action and emotional depth. We believe this is exactly the kind of cinematic event audiences are eager to experience on the big screen.”
The film is produced by Zamias, Moshe, and David Lipper. Additional producers include Robert A. Daly Jr., Wendy Sweetmore, Marina Grasic, Justin Oberman, Shalom Eisenbach, and Ryan Winterstern. International sales are handled by Rocket Science.
