Best known as the stunt co-ordinator for such Hollywood blockbusters as Logan (2017), Avatar (2009) and Road House (2024), Garrett Warren is set to make his directorial debut with the action thriller Painter.
Reacher star Alan Ritchson (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) takes the lead alongside Amber Midthunder (Prey). Written by John Wick’s Derek Kolstad, the film follows a young woman, trained from a young age, who must employ every skill in her arsenal to rescue her father after he is kidnapped.
Ritchson and Kolstad will both serve as producers with Drew Simon of Infrared, Josh Adler via Circle of Confusion, and Dan Spilo of Industry Entertainment.
“Painter will be a seminal action hero film, making Midthunder into this generation’s Sarah Connor (Terminator). We loved Kolstad’s high-octane script, and we know with Garrett Warren at the helm this film will kickstart an exciting new franchise in the world of action,” said Simon, Infrared President of Production.
Stay tuned.
