New Neeson thriller begins production

MANILA, Philippines - Principal photography has begun on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Run All Night, starring Oscar nominees Liam Neeson and Ed Harris, as well as Joel Kinnaman (upcoming RoboCop), under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra.

Brooklyn mobster and prolific hit man Jimmy Conlon (Neeson), once known as The Gravedigger, has seen better days. Longtime best friend of mob boss Shawn Maguire (Harris), Jimmy, now 55, is haunted by the sins of his past — as well as a dogged police detective who’s been one step behind Jimmy for 30 years. Lately, it seems Jimmy’s only solace can be found at the bottom of a whiskey glass.

But when Jimmy’s estranged son, Mike (Kinnaman), becomes a target, Jimmy must make a choice between the crime family he chose and the real family he abandoned long ago. With Mike on the run, Jimmy’s only penance for his past mistakes may be to keep his son from the same fate Jimmy is certain he’ll face himself…at the wrong end of a gun. Now, with nowhere safe to turn, Jimmy just has one night to figure out exactly where his loyalties lie and to see if he can finally make things right.

Shooting in and around New York City, primarily in Brooklyn and Queens, Run All Night also stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Boyd Holbrook, Patricia Kalember, Genesis Rodriguez and Academy Award nominee Nick Nolte.

Collet-Serra directs from a screenplay by Brad Ingelsby. The film is being produced by Roy Lee (The Departed), Michael Tadross (Gangster Squad, Sherlock Holmes) and Brooklyn Weaver (executive producer, upcoming Out of the Furnace) with John Powers Middleton (TV’s Bates Motel) serving as executive producer.

Run All Night will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
