Jonathan Rhys-Myers, Melissa Liu and Antonio Banderas have joined the cast of “Clean-Up Crew,” an action comedy from Yale Entertainment.
Directed by John Keyes, Clean-Up Crew focuses on a crime scene cleanup team that discovers a bag full of cash at the crime scene. This discovery puts them in battle with a crime boss, a death killer and corrupt government agents looking for money. Myers and Leo play the heads of the cleaning crew, while Banderas plays the crime boss who is looking for the bag.
The film was shot in Ireland, and production recently concluded. Matthew Rogers wrote the screenplay for the film, which was produced by Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Pekerman, and Michael Rothstein for Yale, Richard Bolger, Conor Barry of Hill Mary Pictures, Richard Klapow, Stephen Brown, and Kurt Ebner. Great Escape will handle Yale’s sales banner with international rights to the project, which it aims to sell at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
