Big Screen Entertainment Group (PINKSHEETS: BSEG) has announced that filming of its next feature film, "Sucker," has begun production. "Sucker" is a sci-fi comic-book-esque film, directed and co-written by BSEG's Michael Manasseri and produced by BSEG's Kimberley Kates and Stephen Eckelberry as well as Big Screen Michigan's new team of filmmakers.
Filming is expected to last 6 weeks. The majority of filming will take place in Pontiac, Michigan, with select scenes being shot in Troy and on the campus of Oakland University; 95% of the cast and crew are locals from Michigan.
About "Sucker": Lovable loser Jim Crawley is having a pretty bad day. He gets fired from his job at the Nuclear Power Plant he's worked at for 11 years, his car gets impounded, and he discovers his wife is having an affair with his ex co-worker. To make matters worse, Jim gets abducted by an evil scientist who is conducting tests of a controversial vaccine against a deadly virus that is spreading across the planet.
