It\u2019s the perfect lineup to tell this darkly lyrical story that sits at the edge of the psychological and the supernatural. Beyond the sheer talent, meeting Antonio and seeing what he\u2019s built in Spain unlocked the potential of this movie in ways I hadn\u2019t imagined. We\u2019re thrilled to channel that energy with Antonio and show what\u2019s possible when you tap into a place alive with extraordinary creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n DeSanto added: \u201cAntonio is a living legend and part of Hollywood royalty. The talent we have brought together for Unmerciful Good Fortune just shows how good the story is. Like Weapons and Black Phone, it\u2019s a supernatural thriller that is going to bring people back to theaters and have them talking about it for days after.\u201d<\/p>\n Hackshaw is represented by Hillary Bibicoff of Feig Finkel, The Gotham Group, and WPA<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
