EXCLUSIVE: Cazzie David (The Umbrella Academy), Jon Rudnitsky (SNL), Karan Soni (Deadpool franchise), Oliver Cooper (Red Oaks), Taylor Hill (Babylon) and Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) will lead the heist comedy Stealing Pulp Fiction, marking the feature debut of writer-director Danny Turkiewicz, which has wrapped production in Los Angeles.
Billed as a love letter to the classic Quentin Tarantino pic and the history of cinema as a whole, the film is based on Turkiewicz’ short of the same name, which he wrote and directed at the height of the Covid pandemic in 2020. It follows friends Jonathan (Rudnitsky), Elizabeth (David) and Steve (Soni) as they attempt to steal Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of Pulp Fiction. Along the way, their kooky therapist, Dr. Mendelbaum (Alexander), finds himself drawn into the heist, adding both humor and unexpected twists to the story.
Ben Shields Catlin (Sam & Kate, Untold) and his Story In The Sky banner produced alongside Becca Standt, Jordan Willcox (Borderlord, Fishmonger) and Josh Zakaria with Zakaria Entertainment. Chris Barry and Dr. Slava Shut (Static Codes) also produced in association with Turkiewicz and his Pillisdorf Social Club banner.
“Danny is a devout lover of unique personalities, old school cinema and comedy. He threw all three into his own creative mixer and made something wholly original,” Catlin told Deadline. “We cannot wait to surprise people with his sense of humor and his very distinct cinematic style.”
“It was an absolute joy to direct this film with such a talented and dedicated cast and crew,” added Turkiewicz. “The on-set atmosphere was infectious and there wasn’t a day where we weren’t laughing and having a great time. I’m incredibly proud of the work we did on
