Myriad Picks Up A Common Man

The action thriller A Common Man, starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Ben Cross, has been acquired by Myriad Pictures. Chandran Rutnam (The Road from Elephant Pass) adapted and directed the film which was shot in Sri Lanka.
 
In the press release announcing the acquisition of A Common Man, Myriad CEO Kirk D’Amico stated, “Early response to our sales promo has been terrific. Ben Kingsley is a very big star internationally and the film has the right components buyers look for – a big star with a lot of action.”
 
The Plot:
 
In A Common Man, a mysterious man (Kingsley) has planted 5 bombs in the politically-scarred city that are set to explode unless four major terrorists are immediately released from prison. When he calls in his demands to the Deputy Inspector General of the Colombo Police Department (Cross), it sets in motion an ideological and deadly confrontation between the truth and duty.
