This past week it was announced that Emilio Rivera (Sons of Anarchy) and Robert Knepper (Prison Break ) have been cast in the dramatic action film Badsville. April Mullen (Dead Before Dawn 3D) will direct the story of two rival greaser gangs The Badsville Kings and The Aces in a story about loyalty, confrontations and the need to be loved.
Producers Douglas Spain (Line of Duty) and David J. Phillips (Moments of Clarity) have been developing the film for about a year and a half and will be producing under the Phillm Productions shingle. They are surrounding their lead characters with some of the most exciting new young talent in Hollywood, Tamara Duarte (Hard Rock Medical), Rene Rosado (Star Trek Into Darkness), Octavio Pizano (If Loving You is Wrong), Paul James Jordan (Piranha 3DD), Chelsea Rendon (McFarland USA), and Gregory Kasyan (Arms and the Dudes).

The debut screenplay is co-written by Ian McLaren and Benjamin Barrett, who also costar in the film. The shooting schedule is set for just 19 days. However, as this is the second film Spain and Phillips produce together, and if their last film Line of Duty is any indication, they will get it done and the audience can expect a joyful ride. Badsville is filming at various locations throughout Southern California and is repped by Ramo Law.
