Magnet Releasing is ready to send Big Bad Wolves into North American theaters later this year. The genre portion of Magnolia Pictures picked up the Israeli thriller after its world premiere at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival.

Written and directed by Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado, Big Bad Wolves stars Lior Ashkenazi, Rotem Keinan, Tzahi Grad and Dov Glickman.

“The pitch black humor in Big Bad Wolves could only succeed with truly deft, intelligent filmmaking,” said Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles. “With this wonderfully nasty and thrilling film, Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado have proven themselves to be major talents with big careers ahead of them.”

The Plot:

In Big Bad Wolves, a series of brutal murders puts the lives of three men on a collision course: The father of the latest victim now out for revenge, a vigilante police detective operating outside the boundaries of law, and the main suspect in the killings – a religious studies teacher arrested and released due to a police blunder.
