Digital multicast channel Bounce has enlisted “The Wire” star Wendell Pierce and Lauren Holly to lead the original thriller “Don’t Hang Up,” which is set to premiere in the spring. The movie is in production in Toronto.
David Hudson, who oversees Bounce as head of original programming for Scripps National Networks, called the project “the next step in our plan to take Bounce original productions to the next level.” Pierce was a regular on the acclaimed HBO drama “The Wire” from 2002 to 2008. He’s been steadily in demand as an actor in TV, movies and stage
The thriller, directed by J.B. Sugar and written by Byl Caruthers, follows Chris Daniels (Pierce), a man who receives a call that his daughter (Eden Cupid) has been kidnapped and taken hostage. The kidnappers demand that he completes a series of different missions to get her back, including one crucial direction to not hang up the phone.
