Violent Ends Cast: Billy Magnussen & Alexandra Shipp to Lead Revenge Thriller

According to Deadline, Billy Magnussen (Made for Love) and Alexandra Shipp (tick, tick… BOOM!) have been cast for the leading roles in an upcoming Southern revenge thriller Violent Ends, which has just wrapped up production. In addition to Magnussen and Shipp, James Badge Dale, Nick Stahl, Kate Burton, and Ray McKinnon have also joined the project.

Apart from Violent Ends, Magnussen will also next be seen in two high-profile movies including Amazon MGM Studios’ Roadhouse reboot with Jake Gyllenhaal, and the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake. Meanwhile, Shipp will star alongside Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in the romantic-comedy Anyone But You.

What is Violent Ends about?

Violent End is written and directed by John-Michael Powell. It is executive produced by Magnussen, Alex Kim and Catherine Fegan-Kim, with Vincent Sieber, Undine Buka, Shane Andries and Anne Hollister producing. The film hails from Midnight Road and HappyBad Bungalow.

“A tale of star-crossed lovers set against the backdrop of the Ozark Mountains, Violent Ends chronicles the life of Lucas Frost (Magnussen), an honest man brought up in a crime family whose only legacy is violence,” reads the synopsis. “As Lucas tries to make his own life with his fiancée, Emma (Shipp), he is suddenly pulled back into the family business he so despises when his cousin, Eli, perpetrates an armed robbery on a local scrap yard and an innocent life is caught in the crossfire.”
