XYZ Films to Play ‘Gatlopp: Hell of a Game’ for Eternity
XYZ Films has acquired the North American rights to horror-comedy Gatlopp: Hell of a Game from Signature Entertainment, reports THR.
“The film follows a group of four friends who get together for a nostalgic evening of fun and games after a decade apart. After one too many, they decide to play a drinking game — but soon realize that this is no ordinary game. Mischief leads to mayhem, and it’s revealed that if they don’t group together and face their inner demons, they will be forced to play for eternity.”
Starring Jim Mahoney (The Orville), Emmy Raver-Lampman (Umbrella Academy), Jon Bass (Baywatch), Shelley Hennig (Unfriended, Teen Wolf) and Sarunas J. Jackson (Insecure), Gatlopp: Hell of a Game was directed by Alberto Belli.
Mark Lane (47 Meters Down) and James Harris (Wrong Turn) of Tea Shop Films produced alongside Signature Film’s Marc Goldberg (Final Score) and Sarah Gabriel (Bull), with Tomás Yankelevich, Peter Bevan and Mariana Sanjurjo of Particular Crowd exec producing.
