FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FRANZI SCHISSLER EMERGES AS NEXT-GEN ACTION STAR IN “KILL CODE,” DIRECTED BY JUSTIN PRICE Cyberpunk thriller from Powell & Price Productions stars Harvey Keitel, Tyrese Gibson, Frank Grillo, and Jacob Artist **LOS ANGELES October 2025 **Powell & Price Productions today announced its upcoming feature film KILL CODE, a high-concept cyberpunk action thriller from writer-director Justin Price. The film stars Franzi Schissler, Harvey Keitel, Tyrese Gibson, Frank Grillo, and Jacob Artist, and is slated for worldwide release in 2026. Synopsis: In a crime-plagued future, a power-hungry corporation has issued deadly watches to criminals, forcing them to eliminate each other for freedom — and only one of their own can topple the entire system from within. Set in a fractured new America, Kill Code fuses the neon-lit aesthetic of Blade Runner with the grit of Children of Men, creating a world where morality is automated and justice quantified by algorithm. Schissler stars as Elera, a cyber-enhanced operative who uncovers the dark truth behind the Onyx program that pits convicts against one another in a brutal survival game. “Franzi Schissler is a superstar,” says David Snyder, Academy Award–nominated production designer of Blade Runner. “She carries the screen with the intensity of a young Sigourney Weaver.” “This is one of the best scripts I’ve ever read,” adds Harvey Keitel, whose career spans Pulp Fiction, The Irishman, and Taxi Driver. “Justin Price reminds me of a young Ridley Scott,” says Snyder. “His visual storytelling is world-class.” Director Justin Price—known for I Heart Robots and Wawa: The Sandman’s Kingdom—developed Kill Code as part of a multi-film IP universe. The project marks his latest collaboration with his partner Latavius Powell, whose Powell & Price Productions finances and packages elevated genre films for global audiences. “Working with Harvey, Tyrese, Frank, and Jacob alongside a breakout talent like Franzi has been the creative experience of a lifetime,” says Price. “We wanted to build a film that looks forward but feels human—something that questions what happens when technology learns to judge us better than we judge ourselves.” The film will be shown to buyers at AFM with The Exchange/Voltage Pictures handling sales. A limited theatrical release is planned for 2026. Website: www.powellandprice.com
