Pacific Mercantile Bank has provided Mike and Marty Productions with financing for its legal thriller “Beyond Deceit,” starring Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino.
The production financing package consists of gap financing and cash-flowed pre-sales. Film Bridge will handle international sales at Cannes.
Scheduled for release in 2016 by Lionsgate, “Beyond Deceit” tells the story of an ambitious young lawyer who takes on a case against a ruthless executive of a pharmaceutical company — and finds himself drawn into a murder case in which he is the prime suspect. Production recently wrapped in New Orleans.
“Beyond Deceit” marks the feature directorial debut of Shintaro Shimosawa. Josh Duhamel, Alice Eve, Malin Ackerman, Byung-Hun Lee and Julia Stiles also star. Barry Brooker and Stan Wertlieb are the executive producers.
