“Bronzi is back!” The first official trailer has been released for ESCAPE FROM DEATH BLOCK 13, the new prison action feature starring Robert Bronzi (DEATH KISS), Nicholas Turturro (BLACKkKLANSMAN, NYPD BLUE), and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs (WELCOME BACK KOTTER, Rob Zombie’s 31).
Gary Jones (AXE GIANT: THE WRATH OF PAUL BUNYAN, XENA) directs from his screenplay. Mosquito Entertainment, Millman Productions, and Ron Lee Productions are the production companies. Octane Entertainment is handling foreign sales. The filmmakers are courting domestic offers.
ESCAPE FROM DEATH BLOCK 13 concerns a wrongfully convicted man who discovers sinister goings-on at a maximum security prison and must break out to expose the corruption and get revenge on those who put him there. The movie shot recently at the notorious Ohio State Reformatory, where such movies as THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and ESCAPE PLAN 3 also filmed.
“Bronzi” gained notoriety with the recent DEATH KISS, for his uncanny resemblance to another tough and well-known action star of the ’60s-’90s.
ESCAPE FROM DEATH BLOCK 13 also stars Chris Hahn, Debbie Scaletta, Tim Lovelace, Lyindaa Russell, and Justin Hawkins.
The film is produced by Jones and Philip R. Garrett. Jeff Miller (DEATH KISS, CLOWNTOWN) and Ronnie D. Lee (THE TOYBOX, OUIJA HOUSE) are other Executive Producers. George J. Merino and Kathleen Jones are Co-Producers. Chris Hahn is Associate Producer. Ken Stachnik is Cinematographer. David H. Greathouse and Beki Ingram handle makeup FX. David Kirst is Production Coordinator.
The film is aiming for a late 2019 release.
