While we’re told Donovan will play a disgraced millionaire involved with art forgery, all other roles are under wraps. Forge‘s leads are Kelly Marie Tran, Andie Ju and Brandon Soo Hoo, as we were first to report.
Marking the feature directorial debut of Malaysian-born filmmaker Jing Ai Ng, the film is set in the underbelly of the Miami art world, where siblings Raymond (Soo Hoo) and Coco Zhang (Ju) run a profitable forgery ring. When the Zhang siblings cross paths with a disgraced millionaire (Donovan), they are coerced into creating counterfeit masterpieces as a front for his old American family’s art collection. Meanwhile, FBI Art Crimes agent Emily Lee (Tran) moves to South Florida and attempts to find the culprits behind a new string of forgeries.
Producers are Liz Daering-Glass under her and Ng’s new label Florida Man Films, Gabrielle Cordero, and Damian Bao (Port Authority) through his production company Qilinverse. Dave A. Liu (Dìdi) will serve as executive producer on the film, which was developed as part of Film Independent’s Screenwriting Lab and Fast Track.
