EXCLUSIVE: FilmEngine has acquired Blacklisted, a script by Banipal and Benhur Ablakhad. They are keeping the plot under wraps but it is described as a young-skewing buddy caper movie that has a bit of Dirty Dozen and Ocean’s Eleven in it. FilmEngine’s Anthony Rhulen and Navid McIlhargey will produce alongside Josh Weinstock. Devin Andre is overseeing. Producers have begun the search for a director and young international cast.
FilmEngine next releases the Robert De Niro/John Travolta-starrer Killing Season. Weinstock most recently worked at Red Wagon and is now producing via Weinstock Entertainment. The scribes are repped by UTA and Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment.


Congrats! These young guys are great writers! Can’t wait to see the progress of this film. I have read a couple of their scripts and won’t be surprised if more of them gets put in production.
1. This is a fantastic project
2. Not sure who Devlin or Habib are but they don’t call the shots at Film Engine
3. Eskander does.
yes i’m %100 agree with you
Eskander doesn’t call any shots at FilmEngine.
Worked with Josh last year – a great producer – smart, cares about quality, supports the vision. Congrats to all involved!
Go, Navid!
More specs mean lesser chance of wrecks on the big screen. Hooray for fish!
