BILLY ZANE-STARRER “DEADLY VOWS” LANDS ACQUISITION
Co-starring Peter Facinelli, Shane West, and Shohreh Aghdashloo, the film releases next month from Quiver Distribution
Quiver Distribution has acquired the North American rights to Deadly Vows, it was announced today. The film stars Shiva Negar (American Assassin, Seal Team), Peter Facinelli (Twilight, Nurse Jackie), Billy Zane (Titanic, Waltzing With Brando), Shane West (A Walk to Remember, Nikita), and Oscar-nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Expanse, House of Sand and Fog).
Inspired by true events, Deadly Vows is a gripping thriller about love turned lethal. After fleeing the Iran-Iraq war, Darya begins a new life in Los Angeles and is swept off her feet by the charming Sam Lebon. But behind his promises of safety lies a violent darkness. As their relationship twists into abuse and control, Darya makes a daring escape — only to discover Sam has ordered her death. Hunted and alone, she must outwit a relentless predator before his vow becomes her execution.
Directed by Jared Cohn and co-directed by Bella Bahar Danesh, the film was produced by Danesh, Luna Zhang, and Daemon Hillin.
“We believe in the power of cinema to ignite awareness, provoke change, and inspire courage. This thrilling story is a testament to resilience, empowerment, and the human spirit’s capacity for healing and forgiveness. It’s a gripping thriller that highlights the fight against domestic violence and the enduring strength of overcoming adversity,” said Bella Bahar Danesh.
The deal was negotiated by Larry Greenberg on behalf of Quiver and by Michael Curylo on behalf of the filmmakers.
