Filming is now underway on Bullet, an action film starring Danny Trejo (Machete), Jonathan Banks, and Julia Dietze. Nick Lyon (Species: The Awakening) is directing from a script he co-wrote with Ron Peer and Byron Lester.

American United Media, Giant Ape Media, and SC Films International are producing.

“I am thrilled to be working with Danny Trejo on Bullet,” said Rodriguez. “The goal is to bring a top-notch action movie to life by creating a film that combines an ever-thickening plot with intense dialogue and stand-out characters. The opportunity to be working on Bullet is very exciting.”

Simon Crowe of SC Films added, “This is an intelligent, fast-paced action script that is thoroughly entertaining, in the spirit of Die Hard meets Taken. Its top-notch cast will appeal to worldwide distributors and audiences alike.”

Bullet‘s shooting for a late 2013 theatrical release.

The Plot:

This fast-paced action picture finds hardened detective Frank Marasco (Trejo) battling to bring down a deadly criminal gang. While facing off with his nemesis, ruthless cartel leader Carlito Kane (Banks), he unravels a deadly plot that could destroy his family in a race against time.

Dietze plays a provocative cartel attorney who walks a fine line of legal ethics.
