This one was fun to film. Shot it in a rural town in GA back in December 2018 in two weeks. First week went smooth then we brought in the lion cub in the second week. First day with it was brutal. I think we shot 2 pages in 14 hours. She was much more cooperative the rest of the week. If you have little kids, this should entertain them.

Robert Knepper played the bad guy and his goons were played by Wade Wilson and Branscombe Richmond. Gaven Wilde who played young Jesse Gemstone in The Righteous Gemstones was one of the bullies.

Oh great they had to #metoo Secondhand Lions.

But seriously what are the release details?

Looks good!

When I was in HS, my dad (veterinarian) and I went to a location in AR to write up some papers so that this lady could transport 90 cats from AR to IN. We were thinking it was going to be a bunch of house cats. When we arrived, we immediately in shock to find 90 lions and tigers. A lot more I could say, but this story might be boring so I will get to the point. The lady let us take a tiger cub home with us to play with for about 2 weeks. It was cool for about a day. After that, it was torture. The cub would hide behind the couch and then pounce on our bare, innocent feet passing by. The cub would chirp, kind of a yipping sound, all night long. He was very difficult to deal with.

Anyhow, I can see where it would be very frustrating to try and get a wild cat to try and do something that it most likely has no desire of doing. My hat is off to you and your patience!

Bob Knepper?



and Wade Wilson?

We are in the middle of delivery now to Lionsgate. I would say it should be released in the next couple months in the U.S.

Yeah we bought it in Florida and had to get permits to cross the border into Georgia. It was maybe 8 weeks old so it was not trained at all. On the other hand, the dog was amazing. 2nd best movie dog I have ever worked with.

No the guys from Prison Break.

So where did it end up?

Thst is impressive that you are talking with Lionsgate. Theatrical? Or streaming?

Looks great the acting is Pacinoesque
