Quavo To Star In Trioscope & Quality Films Action Thriller ‘Takeover’
Groundbreaking entertainment content and technology house Trioscope (The Liberator) today announced it has greenlit a new feature-length action thriller, Takeover, in partnership with Quality Films (Ice Cold, How High 2), the expanded film unit of premier music management and hip-hop mega-label Quality Control, and Atlanta-based film financing group Georgia Production Finance. Starring multi-hyphenate actor and entertainer, Quavo (Atlanta, Black-ish, Wash Me in the River), the film is written by acclaimed and world-renowned action screenwriter Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Fugitive, The Vikings) a longtime Trioscope collaborator who wrote the World War II animated drama The Liberator (Netflix), and Brad Easton (Marvel’s Agent Carter). Takeover will be directed by Trioscope Chief Creative Officer Greg Jonkajtys, who directed The Liberator.
Takeover is the first among a robust slate of co-produced scripted projects that taps into QC's massive roster of artists, using Trioscope’s proprietary, imaginative style of animation. Set and filmed in Atlanta, a hotbed of the street takeover car culture, Takeover will underscore the fascination and controversy surrounding “sideshows,” which Trioscope will bring to stunning life by fusing live-action performances with animation.
Atlanta native Quavo will play Guy Miller, a recent parolee who’s attempting to rehabilitate his life, when circumstances propel him back into Atlanta’s thriving and dangerous takeover scene. He must live up to his reputation as one of the slipperiest street operators in a lethal, head-long race against time.
“With our unique approach, we’re able to transcend traditional storytelling and immerse viewers into the elaborate, fast-paced world of street takeovers,” says L.C. Crowley, CEO of Trioscope.
The film – which will soon offer innovative ways for fans to participate – will be produced by L.C. Crowley, Brandon Barr and Greg Jonkajtys for Trioscope Studios; Kevin “Coach K” Lee, Pierre “P” Thomas and Brian Sher for Quality Films; Jeb Stuart for Real Folk Productions; Don Mandrik; Quavo for Huncho Films alongside Jen McDaniels.
Mandrik, Managing Director of Georgia Production Finance, leads the capitalization of the film, alongside leading automotive tech entrepreneur, Take It To The Track USA’s Brian Consaul. The two assembled the financing from within Atlanta’s robust exotic and racing car community and via partnerships with leading automotive brands.
“We are excited to be partnering with the teams from Trioscope and Quality Control on what we anticipate to be the first of many projects together, as they collectively represent some of the best and brightest content creators in the industry,” says Georgia Production Finance’s Don Mandrik.
