Heartless, the new action thriller from Altit Media Group and BuzzFeed Studios, will go on sale at next month’s American Film Market in LA (November 11-16).
The film will be directed by Camille Delamare (The Brick Mansion, The Transporter) and written by Kevin Summerfield. “Heartless” follows former MMA fighter Emma Cartier as she fights “a race against time to retrieve her son’s stolen heart for a transplant” and depicts a mother’s fight for her child’s life.
The film stars Jeanne Grousseau (Exterritorial, The Chemistry of Death, The Barbarians, Blood Coast, Kabul) and Colin Morgan (Merlin, Doctor Who, The Fall, Belfast, The Sandman). Morgan is represented by UTA and United Agents (UK).
Heartless is produced by Dean Altitt and Richard Alan Reid. Worldwide sales for the film are handled by Daniel Bauer’s K5 International (Space Nation, Kevin Costner’s four-part film series Horizon: An American Saga, The Butler, November 1963, The Princess).

With Camille Delamare’s dynamic direction and Jeanne Grousseau’s powerful performance, this film’s combination of heart and high-stakes action will connect with audiences around the world.”
