Action movie The Retirement Plan boasts a star-studded cast that includes genre favourite Nicolas Cage, Hellboy’s Ron Perlman, the Twilight franchise’s Ashley Greene, Oscar nominee and 2009’s Watchmen actor Jackie Earle Haley, Joel David Moore, Ghostbusters’ Ernie Hudson, and Grace Byers.
Written and directed by Tim J. Brown – whose credits include the upcoming Buckley’s Chance starring Bill Nighy and the horror-thriller The Cradle starring Lukas Haas – The Retirement Plan sees Ashley (Greene) and her daughter Sarah (11-year-old newcomer Thalia Campbell) get caught up in a criminal enterprise that puts their lives on the line. Desperate for help, Ashley turns to her estranged father Matt (Cage), who currently lives as a retired beach bum in the Cayman Islands.
Predictably, things go askew (wouldn’t be much of an action flick if they didn’t) when they are tracked to the island by crime boss Donnie (Haley) and his right-hand man Bobo (Perlman). As the situation worsens, Ashley quickly learns that her father has a secret past she knows nothing about, but that may save their lives.
Producer William G. Santor, who is also the CEO of Productivity Media, joked that he was “proud to say that we have managed to have a Ghost Rider, a Hellboy, and a Rorschach in the same film together, with a Ghostbuster to keep the Ghost Rider in check!”
Now that would make for one hell of a multiverse film.
