EXCLUSIVE: Natalie Burn (Foster) is set to topline cartel action-thriller Dead Weight for U.S. producer-distributor Premiere Entertainment Group (PEG).
Filming is being lined up for this fall in Guatemala with Andrés E. Díaz aboard to direct from a script by Dane Larsen. Elias Axume (Man Of War) produces for PEG, which is handling worldwide sales.
