HOSTILE TAKEOVER Begins Filming In Regina

Michael Jai White (Dead Zone) will star in indie action thriller Hostile Takeover.

Production has begun at the John Hopkins Soundstage in Regina, Saskatchewan. The soundstage contains a virtual production stage from Volume Global. The technology is the same used by hit shows like The Mandalorian for Disney+. Volume Global, which specializes in portable pop-up soundstages and LED volumes, says it’s also near to completing a pop-up soundstage in Sudbury, Ontario scheduled to open this summer.

White plays Pete, a workaholic hitman in New York City. He faces a barrage of assassins out to get Pete after the head of a local crime syndicate suspects he may be disloyal after attending Workaholics Anonymous meetings. Aimee Stolte plays Pete’s on-again/off-again girlfriend Mora.

White is an incredibly accomplished martial artist who then moved into acting, directing and writing. He has made over 100 appearances across TV and film in his 35 year career. Some of his most famous role include 1997’s Spawn, playing Gambol in The Dark Knight and starring in Black Dynamite.

Markos Rounthwaite directs Hostile Takeover, he has a background in stunt coordinator work as well as producing. Rounthwaite provided stunt direction for blockbusters The Bourne Ultimatum and Casino Royale. Karma Films and Dovetale Media are the producers of Hostile Takeover, with Rounthwaite stepping in as executive producer.
