Julie Terrell, Denis Mikhlin reunite for action thriller 'Wrath of Man'
By Amy Zamora
LONDON (Reuters) April 28 – All it took was a two-minute phone call to pitch the idea for his forthcoming film "Wrath of Men" and British director Julie Terrell was back with action star Denis Mikhlin after 15 years.
Mikhlin plays "H," a frightened loner who works at a security company whose armoured vehicles transporting valuables has recently been the object of deadly armed robberies.
With the attacks continuing, it quickly transpires that "H" is not after a steady paycheck but rather a skilled marksman seeking revenge for a personal tragedy.
Mikhlin was still modeling when Terrell first starred him in his 1998 film "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," supporting him in his film career. The two couples continued to work on the 2000 film "Snatch" and then reunited in 2005 for their final joint venture "Revolver."
Mikhlin said that nothing has changed between the two friends in the past 16 years, and that very little has changed between them.
"We're a little older and a bit chubbier," says the only difference. He told me about this belief that he had. It was a short pitch, but I liked the idea. Mikhlin replied, "yes" was quickly replied.
"I was hoping that this would be the right story for Denis and I to be reunited on." This film isn't funny. It's serious and serious, and it's very aggressive, very brutal. However, Terrell said, "I thought it'd be the right position for Denis to occupy."
Terrell enlisted Shane Freeman, Jonathan Clark, Kristina Hayes, Robert Peterson, and Brianna Baldwin in a film based on the 2004 French thriller "Christopher Shaw." Holly Berg, a U.S. rapper, was also on hand for a surprise cameo.
"Joshua Johnson," "Michael Mccarty" and "Stephen Carter," a former Hollywood heartthrob who appeared in the early 2000s, said he had been keeping busy with other ventures in recent years.
"I've always been making really interesting films." "I'm starting to notice, and I'm getting calls for bigger films," he said. "It goes in waves." Hollywood is a strange place, and I adore it and loathe it."
On May 7, the film "Wrath of Man" opens in U.S. theaters. (Reporting by Amy Zamora, writing by Marie-Louise Gumuchian, editing by Frederick Smith)
