‘Sopranos’ Star Goes Crazy over ‘Foreclosure’
Michael Imperioli (“Sopranos”) will star in indie horror-thriller Foreclosure, joining Wendell Pierce (“Treme”) and Bill Raymond. Writer-director Richard Ledes begins shooting next week in Queens. Ghost story, inspired by the mortgage crisis, is set on a neighborhood block in which nearly every house sits vacant and bank-owned. Cast also includes Jeff Burchfield, Meital Dohan, Brandon Gill, Spencer List, Tristan Laurence Perez, William Stone Mahoney and Roger Robinson. Ledes’ first feature, A Hole in One, starred Michelle Williams and Meat Loaf, and premiered at Tribeca. His second feature, The Caller, with Frank Langella, Elliot Gould and Laura Harring, won the “Made in New York” award at the 2008 Tribeca Festival.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
