Lake George – Watch Shea Whigham & Carrie Coon in the trailer for the darkly comic crime thriller

Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, has debuted the trailer and poster for director Jeffrey Reiner’s Lake George, a darkly comic crime thriller starring Shea Whigham (JOKER, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE) and Carrie Coon (GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE, HIS THREE DAUGHTERS, Emmy-nominated for The Gilded Age). The film world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and co-stars Max Casella and Glenn Fleshler. Magnet has North American rights to the film and has set the release for December 6 in US cinemas and on digital.

Strong-armed by mobsters to pull off a hit, Don (Whigham) is unable to go through with it. The target, Phyllis (Coon), has designs of her own and proposes a little tag team action to Don: join forces to steal money from the people who want her dead.

“Carrie Coon and Shea Whigham are fantastically entertaining in director Jeffrey Reiner’s beautifully plotted thriller,” said Magnolia Pictures co-CEOs Eamonn Bowles and Dori Begley.

“I’ve always admired the care and creativity in which Magnolia handles their films,” said Jeffrey Reiner. “I’m thrilled to have them distributing Lake George, a film that dances between Noir and dark comedy, and can’t wait for audiences to discover it in December.”

Directed and written by Jeffrey Reiner, LAKE GEORGE is produced by Reiner, Joey Oglesby of Gray Fox Films, Cleta Ellington, Bernie Stern. Executive producers are Michael Hillman, Brent Wilson.

The deal for North American rights was negotiated by Magnolia SVP of Acquisitions John Von Thaden, with Oliver Wheeler of Range Media Partners on behalf of the filmmakers.
