Trailer For New Indie Thriller “Painless”

By Creative Media Times

Based on real medical science, the new indie thriller “Painless” follows a man named Henry, who has a rare condition called congenital analgesia which renders him unable to feel physical pain, and his search for normalcy.

“Pain, suffering due to bodily harm, is nature’s way of protecting us. But every once in a while, nature makes a mistake,” Henry’s voice-over says in the trailer. “If it is possible to take away the sensation of pain, then we must also be able to create it.”

“Painless” stars Joey Klein (“12 Monkeys”) and is directed by Jordan Horowitz (“Angel of Nanjing”). Also in the film are Joey Klein, Evalena Marie, Kip Gilman, and Pascal Yen-Pfister.

The new thriller is now available DVD and all major VOD platforms. See the trailer below.

Henry Long was born with a rare condition that leaves him unable to feel physical pain. Life for him is a daily struggle, never knowing when he might become seriously injured without realizing it, or worse, die from an internal injury he never knew existed. He lives in a constant state of fear and is completely alienated from those around him who cannot relate to his daily struggles.

Barricading himself in a world of science, Henry has dedicated his life to finding a cure so that he can one day know what it’s like to feel ‘normal.’ When he discovers a promising drug that he is unable to obtain on his own, he gets involved with a dangerous scientist with a dark past and his own secret agenda. Henry must decide if his need for normalcy is worth paying the ultimate price before it’s too late.

Based on a real disorder – congenital analgesia – and authentic medical science, PAINLESS looks at the dark side of life with a rare condition and the challenges both symptomatic and social that people with these conditions face.

Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot is “in negotiations” to star in director Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming film “Death on the Nile,” various sources are reporting today.

“Death on the Nile” is an adaptation of British writer Agatha Christie’s detective fiction book of the same name. This would be Branagh’s follow-up to his other Christie adaptation from last year, “Murder on the Orient Express.” That 20th Century Fox film was somewhat an unexpected blockbuster, grossing $351 million worldwide.

Gadot is set to take on the role of Linnet Ridgeway Doyle, a wealthy heiress seeking the help of famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in dealing with a stalker.

The original 1937 novel story is set on the Nile River in Egypt, with the investigation taking place on a luxurious cruise where he investigates a group of suspects.

Many should recall that the novel has already been successfully adapted once into a 1978 film which featured a star-studded cast including Bette Davis, Mia Farrow and Maggie Smith with Peter Ustinov playing the role of Poirot.

Gadot is best known for her performance as Diana Prince in 2017’s Warner Bros. superhero hit “Wonder Woman.” She is currently shooting a sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, which is scheduled for release on November 1, 2019 with Patty Jenkins returning as director. She also recently joined the cast of “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2.”

The upcoming Clint Eastwood-directed film joins the already crowded Oscar fray, as Warner Bros. announced its December 14 release date, Variety reports today.

The release date pits the film against Universal’s Mortal Engines and Sony’s animated Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse.

The story is based on the real life of World War II veteran Leo Sharp. In the film, Eastwood plays Earl Stone, an broke and alone 80-year-old who was offered a job to simply drive, which turned out to be a courier work for a drug cartel.

Written by Gran Torino scribe Nick Schenk, “The Mule” also stars Bradley Cooper, Dianne Wiest, and Michael Peña. Eastwood has worked with Cooper in the 2014 biographical war drama film “American Sniper”

The awards friendly release date is an indication of the studio’s confidence in the film, but is somewhat a surprise considering Warner Bros.’ packed schedule around that date, beginning with “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” in mid November and “Aquaman” during the holidays.

The studio’s “A Star is Born” with Cooper and Lady Gaga, which is getting plenty of buzz also arrives next week.

“The Mule” is the Hollywood icon’s first starring role since “Trouble with the Curve” (2012), and his first to direct himself since 2008’s blockbuster hit “Gran Torino.”

I set out to redefine metal by contemporizing it with current production techniques and infusing it with the super power of the orchestra.”
