Sierra McCormick and Dermot Mulroney Team Up for Intriguing New Film 'Killing Mary Sue'

In a delightful twist of cinematic opportunity, Bleiberg Entertainment has decided to take a gamble—ah, let’s call it a calculated risk—by acquiring international rights to the action-packed romp, Killing Mary Sue. Now, if you’re imagining a hard-hitting thriller, brace yourself. This one stars the celebrated Sierra McCormick (of American Horror Stories fame) alongside a roster of recognizable faces that even your mother would nod in approval of: Dermot Mulroney from My Best Friend’s Wedding, Sean Patrick Flanery of The Boondock Saints, the ever-lovable Jason Mewes from Clerks, Martin Kove who still has that Cobra Kai cunning about him, and the fabulously funny Kym Whitley from Rango.

Now, let’s set the scene: the film, currently in that mysterious realm known as post-production, is gearing up for a debut at the upcoming American Film Market in Las Vegas. Yes, Las Vegas—the glittering city where dreams go to either flourish or flop on the poker table of life.

Crafted by the quirk of a mind that is James Sunshine, Killing Mary Sue spins a charmingly twisted tale about a corrupt senator (because really, when was the last time we saw a film character who wasn’t a little morally dubious?) who finds himself in a pickle with his erratic, burnout stepdaughter. So, what does he do? Oh, you know, just arranges for her murder. But plot twist: our dear Mary Sue stumbles upon a startling discovery—she's not just any aimless youth; she’s a natural-born, untouchable killer.

Now, isn’t that an irony wrapped in a conundrum? I mean, she goes from being a liability to the life of the party… or perhaps, the life of the assassination plot. It’s a familial bonding experience like no other, and certainly one that would drive a therapist to near insanity. Below is a first-look image that we can only assume captures the chaotic charm that the film promises.

The film's production team boasts the likes of Larry Layfield for Arck Productions, Jonathan Sachar for Morningstar Films, along with Patrick Durham and Dave Lugo. And let’s not overlook the executive producers, Rosy Sultana and Abdul Bhuiyan, who are surely wringing their hands in anticipation, hoping to strike gold in this wild cinematic ride.

As if that wasn't enough to whet your appetite, James Sunshine himself elucidates, “This absurdist film takes inspiration from the heated online debates surrounding the infamous ‘Mary Sue’ character trope and seeks to satirize the discourse in a new way." I mean, who knew discourse could be so edgy? He adds, “We’re very excited to be representing this action-packed film with a terrific cast and non-stop thrills.”

That’s right, the excitement oozes and drips with a kind of chaotic charm that we haven’t quite seen in the markets for ages. Ariel Bleiberg, the Head of Acquisitions and Development at Bleiberg, couldn’t help but share, “It’s original, clever, and entertaining, never relenting on its delivery of both wit and chaos.” Words to live by, don’t you think? One can only hope that buyers and audiences across the globe will revel in this delicious concoction of chaos wrapped in a comical bow.

In the world that surrounds Killing Mary Sue, we see reflections of our own messy lives, our flawed characters, and the laughter we find amidst our own absurdities. Buckle up, folks—this is one ride you won't want to miss!
