PanARMENIAN.Net - FilmRise has acquired all North American distribution rights to Redwire Pictures and Content Media’s supernatural heist thriller “The Vault”, starring James Franco, Francesca Eastwood, Scott Haze, and Taryn Manning, Variety reports.

Dan Bush directed the film from an original screenplay he co-wrote with Conal Byrne. FilmRise plans to release the film theatrically in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2017.
