Ericson Core (Point Break, Invincible) has been tapped to direct the thriller The Claim, written by Academy Award winner Damien Chazelle, for producers Scott Clayton of Oceanside Media and Route One Entertainment’s Russell Levine.
Earlier this year, Christian Mercuri launched his multi-faceted financing, production and sales company, Capstone Group, which will fully finance the picture with Oceanside Media.
When the opportunity to collaborate on ‘The Claim’ came about, it was an obvious partnership for us,” said Mercuri.
“Ericson embraces the emotional elements of the script which sets it apart from other character-driven thrillers,” said Levine.
