Releasing in select theaters, on-demand, and on digital February 28th, this darkly comedic action sci-fi thriller stars Daniel Radcliffe (“Miracle Workers,” Harry Potter franchise) and Samara Weaving (Ready or Not).
Miles’ (Daniel Radcliffe) nerdy existence as a video game developer takes a dramatic turn when he inadvertently gets caught up as the next contestant with SKIZM, an underground gang live-streaming real-life death matches. While Miles excels at running away from everything, that won’t help him outlast Nix (Samara Weaving), a killer at the top of her game.
The film stars Daniel Radcliffe (Escape from Pretoria, Horns), Samara Weaving (The Babysitter, Mayhem), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny, “The Society”), Ned Dennehy (“Peaky Blinders”, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1), and Rhys Darby (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Yes Man).
From writer/director Jason Lei Howden (Deathgasm), GUNS AKIMBO made its World Premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last year. The film is produced by Joe Neurauter (Better Living Through Chemistry, Madame Bovary), Felipe Marino (The Hollow, The Wackness), and Tom Hern (Everything We Loved, I’m Not Harry Jenson).
