[Trailer] Kim Koates Is the Law in ‘Officer Downe’
From being an utter bad-ass in Sons of Anarchy as Alexander ‘Tig’ Trager, to being an absolute beast in M. Shawn Crahan’s (aka “Clown”) directorial debut Officer Downe, as, well, Officer Downe, Kim Koates continues to deliver the goods. And today, we can share with you the awesome official trailer, artwork and details for the film.
From the Press Release:
Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, announced today that they have acquired U.S. rights to OFFICER DOWNE, the debut feature of M. Shawn Crahan (aka “Clown”), co-founder and visual architect of Grammy-winning and multi-platinum band Slipknot. The film, starring Kim Coates (“Sons of Anarchy”), will be released in theaters and On Demand November 18.
Adapted from the 2010 graphic novel by Joe Casey and Chris Burnham, OFFICER DOWNE concocts a hyper-real Los Angeles for the story of a savage LA policeman who is repeatedly resurrected and returned to active duty via dark science technology. When a rookie officer named Gable is recruited as back-up, he discovers there’s much more to the titular super-cop than a mindless law enforcement drone warring against a twisted rouges gallery of over-the-top super-villains.
Directed by Crahan, OFFICER DOWNE was written by Joe Casey and produced by Mark Neveldine, Skip Williamson, Cole Payne, and Casey. Executive producers were Cory Brennan and Glenn D. Feig.
The deal was negotiated by Magnolia SVP of Acquisitions John Von Thaden with CAA on behalf of the filmmakers.
