The Iron Curtains
Imagine Leon meets Inglorious Basterds, during the cold war.
The Idea Based before Kennedy’s assassination, greed has
corrupted U.S politicians, Businessmen and Russian deputies to continue the fear of nuclear war.
This is where the organization comes in, a group of individuals of different nationality working for the corrupted. The organization will kill, blackmail or manipulate whoever their assigned (powerful men who are trying and stop the conflict).
Lee Harvey Oswald is a simple man who finds himself being involved with the organisation……

historical and drama.

years old, this is because of it’s violence and political content.

million with the possibility of back end deals for some of our more prestigious actors. For the back end deal it we will be willing to up to 25% of the films profit for cinema release and DVD/Blu-ray release for the first 3 months.
