LaMonica Garrett (1883, Special Ops, Lioness) stars in William Kaufman’s action thriller NIGHTINGALE. As Russian forces invade Ukraine, a lone American Special Forces Operator enters the bloody & brutal war zone to rescue his daughter. The cast is rounded out by Jason Patric (Narc, Rush), Andrew Howard (Marvel Studios ECHO, HBO’s Watchman), Daniel Bernhardt (Extraction 2, John Wick), Linds Edwards (Rectify, Home Front, Nashville) and introducing Rosmary Yaneva.
Plot: Private military contractor Michael Connor (Garrett) only has one thing left to live for: his adopted daughter Riley (Yaneva). She has just been taken hostage during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. With the help of Charlie Lewis (Patric), Connor’s former CIA handler, and Dany Sundakov, (Howard), a local Ukrainian patriot and Ex-CIA asset, and a crazy ex-SAS commando, Bunny (Edwards) , Connor must navigate the war-torn nation to rescue Riley from a sadistic, bloodthirsty, mercenary commander, Stanismir Koniev (Bernhardt). The devastating impact of the invasion forces Connor to choose between his relentless hunt for his daughter or helping the desperate innocents he encounters along the way.
Nightingale is directed by William Kaufman (The Channel, OSIRIS) from a script he wrote with Paul Reichelt (who is also executive producer). Andrew Lewis and Isaac Lewis are producing for Denton Film. Mark Rutledge is the DP on the film having worked with William Kaufman on nearly every film he has directed. Stany Stamatov (who won the Taurus Award for Extraction 2) is the stunt coordinator/second unit director on the movie.
Principal photography wrapped last month in Bulgaria.
