Thriller movie shot in Vancouver didn't pay trailer rental fees: lawsuit
A Vancouver company that provides trailers for film and TV shoots says it was stiffed for more than $67,000 by a production that last fall shot a thriller movie destined for Hollywood release, according to a lawsuit.
Vancouver Mobile Dressing Rooms is suing a B.C. company, Night Comes Productions, for unpaid invoices for the rental of mobile dressing room trailers, including wardrobe trailers and cable trucks on 34 occasions between Sept. 8 and Oct. 20, according to the lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court.
'To date, no payments have been made' for the invoices, which ranged from $325 to more than $3,200 for each rental date, for a total of $67,681.60, in breach of the production company's agreement with the rental company, it said.
Night Comes, a survival horror thriller, staring Deadpool and Wolverine's Dafne Keen and Samantha Lorraine as sisters, is set against a cataclysmic event that threatens to wipe out life on Earth, according to hollywoodnorthbuzz.com.
Alexander Ludwig also stars, according to deadline.com, a film industry online publication.
The film's two sisters escape the event but have to struggle for survival to save mankind.
The film's director is Jay Hernandez, who also co-wrote the screenplay. It's his first directing job, but his acting credits include the lead in the new Magnum P.I. and roles in Suicide Watch and Hostel.
Deadline.com calls the film independently produced. Its producers are Impossible Dream Entertainment and Big Picture Cinema Group, which is the sole financier of the film.
Impossible Dream Entertainment co-partner Shaun Redick produced Get Out, which Big Picture called on its website one of the most profitable movies of all time, and co-partner Yvette Yates Redick produced Day Shift.
Messages requesting comment left with B.C.-based Big Picture Cinema Group and with Vancouver Mobile Dressing Rooms weren't returned.
