EXCLUSIVE: Pinnacle Pictures’ Panoramic Pictures is rolling cameras on the action thriller Panic Button starring Oscar nominee Alec Baldwin, 3x Emmy winner Jeremy Piven, God’s Not Dead franchise actor David A. R. White and Leven Rambin (The Hunger Games, True Detective).
The Juan Boffill directed, Matthew Eason and Tommy Blaze written feature follows a meticulously cautious security chief (White) who wakes up one day to find a dead woman lying beside him. Framed for murder, he races to clear his name while evading relentless FBI agents (Baldwin and Rambin), aided by his loyal friend and business partner (Piven) and his daughter (Ocean White), who join him in unravelling the case, all while staying one step ahead of a ruthless Russian mob led by (Steven Bauer).
Producers are Blaze, with EPs David Schmidt, Roger Neal and Elizabeth Travis.
“Audiences have an enduring appetite for smart, high-stakes action thrillers, and Panic Button delivers a ride filled with suspense, danger and unexpected twists,” Bofill said. “It’s very much in the tradition of films like The Fugitive and Taken — a wrongfully accused man with nowhere to turn, racing against time to clear his name and stay alive.”
Bofill is not only a director, but also a longtime stunt coordinator. The pic is currently shooting in Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Los Angeles and South Carolina.
Panoramic Pictures is the mainstream label of Pinnacle Peak Pictures; the faith and family-oriented production and distribution company created in 2005 by Michael Scott and White.
