The ‘Vigilante Diaries,’ as told by actor Paul Sloan, is set to be unveiled to the public, as Anchor Bay Entertainment has announced it will distribute the action comedy this summer. The highly anticipated film will be released in select theaters and on iTunes on June 24, before expanding to On Demand, Blu-ray and DVD on July 5. The home release discs and Digital HD distribution will feature such bonus material as a ‘Behind The Scenes’ featurette that brings fans closer to the title character.
Based on the popular web series on Chill.com, ‘Vigilante Diaries’ was co-written by Sloan and its director, Christian Sesma. Besides Sloan, who portrays the eponymous character, the action comedy features an all-star ensemble cast that includes Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Michael Jai White, Jason Mewes and Michael Madsen.
‘Vigilante Diaries’ revolves around a team of black-ops agents turned crime-fighters, led by an elusive, brooding anti-hero of near-mythical physical and weapons skills, known only as The Vigilante. Abandoned by governments, corporations and his handlers and with a bounty on his head, The Vigilante’s jam-packed missions of rescue and revenge take the audience from the mega-mansions and underbelly of Los Angeles to far-flung locales including Iraq, Armenia, Russia, and the UK.
The action film introduces a cast of colorful, dangerous and hilarious characters who all have to carry out a mission. Mewes plays Beverly Hills documentary filmmaker Michael Hanover, who records the exploits of The Vigilante and is thrust headfirst into the middle of the story he is documenting—becoming a high-value target himself in the process. Mix in a trio of Asian femme fatales, a cadre of ruthless Armenian mobsters and at the top, a pair of deep cover super-spies hell-bent on throwing the world into chaos, it’s no wonder it’s up to The Vigilante to sort them all out.
‘Vigilante Diaries’ is an Oscar Gold Productions, Seskri Produktionz and Ton of Hats production, in association with Vallelonga Productions. The film was produced by Mike Hatton, Asko Akopyan, Nick Vallelonga, Sesma and Joshua Mandel.
