Quiver Distribution just picked up Kill Code, a cyberpunk action thriller that drops this July with a stacked cast and a ruthless premise.
The film stars Frank Grillo, Tyrese Gibson, and Harvey Keitel in a dystopian future where criminals become the cops. Keitel plays a nanoscientist who runs a corporate prison empire and forces inmates to kill each other using a deadly nano-virus. The twist? They’re strapped with infected watches and told the last one standing goes free.
Enter Elera, a cyber-operative played by newcomer Franzi Schissler, who discovers something that flips the entire system. She goes rogue and launches a rebellion to burn it all down before humanity gets enslaved.
Writer and director Justin Price says the film sits between cyberpunk, survival action, and character-driven sci-fi. The deal closed at Cannes with Voltage Pictures and The Exchange backing the sales push. It’s the latest from Powell & Price Productions, a company focused on elevated genre films built for wide release.
Kill Code hits digital platforms July 24. For indie filmmakers grinding in the genre space, this is what a solid cast and a killer concept can do.
