Fyre Rises: cast of action film with Eric Roberts and Paul Marlon, cinema release date - and trailer

Fyre Rises, an upcoming independent action film boasts an impressive cast list, with Dark Knight star Eric Roberts in a major role.

The action crime movie follows debt-ridden pacifist and former gangster Richard Fyre is asked to return to his mercenary life for one final job by the flamboyant zealot, Priest.

Priest wants Fyre to take out his international competition in exchange for a clean slate for the rest of his life, with no more obligations to the mob.
