Electric Entertainment nabs Anthony Hopkins’ “Go With Me”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Electric Entertainment will co-finance and has taken all worldwide rights to “Go With Me” starring Anthony Hopkins, the company announced, according to TheWrap.

“Go With Me” tells the story of Lillian, a young woman newly returned to her hometown who becomes the subject of harassment by a man named Blackway, an ex-cop turned violent crimelord who operates with impunity in this small community on the edge of the wilderness.

Forsaken by the local townspeople and advised by the sheriff to leave town, Lillian decides instead to take a stand against her sociopathic stalker, and enlists the help of an ex-logger Lester (Hopkins) and his laconic young sidekick Nate — the only two men in town brave enough (or crazy enough) to go with her, and go up against Blackway.

Shooting will start in mid-November in British Columbia, Canada, and additional casting is underway. The film, co-financed by Enderby Entertainment, is based on the book by Castle Freeman Jr. and will be directed by Daniel Alfredson.

Adapted by Joe Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs, it will be produced by Rick Dugdale for Enderby Entertainment, Lindsay Williams and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein for The Gotham Group, and by Gregory Jacobs and Hopkins.

Electric will sell international rights at the upcoming American Film Market.
