【New Challenge For West End Star】
The award-winning Iranian-born Canadian star of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom Of The Opera, Ramin Karimloo will take the lead role in a new film playing a mild-mannered teacher forced to confront the seedy underworld of a Quebec town to rescue his kidnapped daughter.
Chris Hastings, CEO of 1066 Productions, the British half of the UK-Canadian coproduction of Bad Town, said they were excited to announce that Ramin would be taking on the role of Daniel Girard.
The film, said to be inspired by Polanski’s Frantic and Cronenberg’s A History Of Violence, follows Daniel’s struggles as a non-French speaking intruder desperately searching for his teenage daughter, Molly, in the French-speaking, crime-ridden, closed community.
“Although Ramin is highly acclaimed as a musical stage star, we believe he is perfect for this role, and it will be a fascinating challenge for him, giving audiences a unique insight into the much wider range of his considerable talent,” said Hastings.
Combining both Canadian and French-Canadian dialogue and characters, the production company have said they hope to emulate the success of Bon Cop Bad Cop, a film released with different subtitled versions for both Anglophones and Francophones.Bon Cop Bad Cop is one of the most successful Canadian films in the history of the Canadian box office, having made over $13m despite not receiving a theatrical release outside of Canada.
