LOS ANGELES, CA., January 30, 2014 … Actress Jennifer Blanc-Biehn has joined Jonathan Bennett on the production of the comedic horror film DEADLY RETREAT. Casting news arrives on the heel of THE WRONG WOMAN, which premiered on Lifetime this past month and stars Danica Mckeller. Blanc and Bennett will now appear in DEADLY RETREAT. The film is the first full-length feature to be released by Artigo indie and begins filming on Feb 2, 2014 in Idyllwild, CA.
Employees of a dot com company travel to the mountains for their annual winter retreat. Unfortunately for them, the trip takes a deadly turn when a self-proclaimed serial killer and avid practical joker tries to make a name for himself and targets this group of young professionals for execution.
“I have a great working relationship with Jon and Danielle,” said Jennifer Blanc-Biehn. “I had the opportunity to work with them for films produced by Blanc/Biehn Productions, so I am delighted to be a part of DEADLY RETREAT and I look forward to future collaborations with the husband and wife team.”
Jennifer Blanc-Biehn has been cast alongside Jonathan Bennett, best known for his role in MEAN GIRLS. Jon Artigo wrote and will direct DEADLY RETREAT through his production company Artigo indie, along with his wife Danielle Artigo, who will be producing as well as starring in the picture.
DEADLY RETREAT marks Danielle’s third feature producing credit in the last 6 months. The last film Danielle produced was SHE RISES for Blanc/Biehn Productions and stars Michael Biehn, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, Daisy McCrackin, and Angus McFadyen of AMC’s new series TURN. SHE RISES is current in post-production.
Matt Kohler and Barry Alexander have also joined the DEADLY RETREAT producing team as Producer and Co-Producer, respectively.
Jennifer Blanc-Biehn can be seen in WRONG COPS, currently in theaters, and in Joe Lynch’s black listed script EVERLY, co-starring Salma Hayek and Gabriella Wright, coming soon to theaters in 2014.
