Exclusive: Wolf Fleetwood-Ross, Noah Luis Brown and Meghan Wiggins have been cast in actress Taylor DeVoe’s feature directing debut, Violent Delights. They join The Florida Project breakout Bria Vinaite and Timur Magomedgadzhiev.
Based on an original screenplay by DeVoe, Violent Delights tells the story of three young musicians whose inner demons threaten to derail their budding careers. As the European leg of their tour kicks off, disenchanted Dillon, addiction-plagued Felix, and new-age misfit Skipper hope to rekindle past relationships and find meaning while in Paris. Instead, they find themselves in middle of a mass shooting.
The project was originally unveiled at the Berlin Film Festival in 2017 and has gone through some shifts; it will be newly introduced to buyers this fall.
Fleetwood-Ross, who is the grandson of Mick Fleetwood, appeared in the most recent American Crime Story as he builds his credits.
