The film follows a group of hopelessly ambitious misfits in their attempt to steal Quentin Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of his iconic film ‘Pulp Fiction.’ But what begins as a simple heist quickly spirals into a chaotic adventure filled with unexpected twists and comedic mishaps.
It stars Karan Soni (“Deadpool 2”), Jason Alexander (“Shallow Hal,” “Seinfeld”), Cazzie David (“Eighty-Sixed,” “The Umbrella Academy”) and Jon Rudnitsky (“Home Again”).
Adapted from Turkiewicz’s 2020 short film of the same name, “Stealing Pulp Fiction” was produced by Ben Shields Catlin, Becca Standt, Josh Zakaria, Turkiewicz, Jordan Willcox, Dr. Slava Shut, Ian Novotny and Chris Barry.
“This one’s got ‘cult classic’ written all over it. Distributors are going to have a blast with ‘Stealing Pulp Fiction.’ It’s packed with wonderful laugh out loud moments and we can’t wait to present this to at AFM to buyers that are hungry for a real cinematic ‘Royale with Cheese’,” said Michael Favelle, CEO of Odin’s Eye Entertainment.
“Odin’s Eye understood right away what Stealing Pulp Fiction was going for—they’re true lovers of cinema, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to bring our film to international audiences,” said Shields Catlin.
Founded in 2006 by Michael Favelle, Odin’s Eye Entertainment and sister company Odin’s Eye Animation are global leaders in the production, distribution, and international sales of feature films and television content. Earlier this year it picked up rights to adult animation “Weird Kidz” and to documentary feature “Mad Props,” directed by Juan Pablo Reinoso. A quest for the holy grail of cinematic props, “Mad Props” involves stars Robert Englund, Lance Henriksen and Mikey Rourke as they source and search for classic props from iconic films ranging from “Alien,” “Star Wars,” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.”
