Synopsis
Julian Michaels (Bruce Willis) has designed the ultimate resort: VICE, where
anything goes and the customers can play out their wildest fantasies with
artificial inhabitants who look, think and feel like humans. When an artificial
(Ambyr Childers) becomes self-aware and escapes, she finds herself caught in
the crossfire between Julian's mercenaries and a cop (Thomas Jane) who is
hell-bent on shutting down Vice, and stopping the violence once and for all.
Grindstone Entertainment and Emmett Furla Oasis Films present in association
with K5 International an Emmett Furla Oasis Films production in association
with Aperture Entertainment.
About The Story & Characters
THOMAS JANE (The Punisher), BRUCE WILLIS (Red 2) and AMBYR
CHILDERS (2 Guns) keep the audience on their toes and on the edge of their
seats in VICE, a science-fiction action film where an artificially engineered
woman escapes a hedonistic resort and seeks vengeance on those that
imprisoned her. In a dystopian future, Julian Michaels (WILLIS) runs Vice, a
resort that offers its wealthy clients a chance to live out their wildest and
sometimes most violent fantasies. Kelly (CHILDERS), a resort ‘Resident,’ is
having her memory re-installed after a rough night with a client but there is a
glitch and flashbacks of where she came from help her make a daring escape.
When Roy Tedeschi (JANE), a gruff, gum-shoe detective gets word that an
Artificial is on the loose, it’s a race against time to track her down and stop the
aberrant behaviors in Vice from becoming the natural order of things. Starring
alongside Jane, Willis, and Childers in VICE are BRYAN GREENBERG
(Friends With Benefits), JOHNATHON SCHAECH (The Legend of Hercules),
and CHARLOTTE KIRK (Non-Stop).
VICE was the perfect script to move Emmett Furla Oasis into the high
concept science-fiction action space," says producer Randall Emmett. "Director
Brian Miller has the talent to creatively construct a world so different from the
one in which we live, and elicited beautifully nuanced performances from our
talented cast including Ambyr, Thomas, and Bruce.
“The concept for VICE came to me because I was thinking about robots,
and if we did create artificial intelligence, sexbots would likely be one of the first
uses," suggests writer Jeremy Passmore, recalling when the idea first came to
him. "Every time there is advancement in technology the boundaries are
immediately pushed. If the robot we create has actually consciousness and
could feel every bit of its emotions and its thoughts were every bit as real as
ours are, then where do you draw the line? You can’t just create these things
and use them as slaves.”
“On the surface, it’s a revenge story about an artificially intelligent being
who becomes self-aware for the first time,” begins writer Andre Fabrizio, who
shares a love of science-fiction with writing partner Passmore. “On a deeper
level I think what appealed to Jeremy and I was more the inevitability of artificial
intelligence and how it should be treated as well as the fact that there is an
assumption that artificial intelligence shouldn’t be viewed with the same rights.”
“The idea of a computer, or artificially created machine becoming selfaware is a very real prospect,” adds Passmore. “Nobody really knows where
that is going to lead so that is a very deep vein to be mined in terms of science
fiction because there are many possibilities and I think we chose one where it
wasn’t really placing a judgment, but it was more about the morality of what
makes something alive and what kind of rights does a being that is self-aware
have intrinsically.”
“Julian Michaels' corporation has built Vice, a resort for the wealthy where
they can do anything that you could possibly imagine, even murder, rape, or kill
because the permanent Residents are artificial, cloned from human DNA and
built on endoskeletons,” begins director Brian A. Miller. “The story revolves
around a Resident that starts having memories of horrible things that have
happened to her and she breaks out, only to discover the original creator of
‘Artificials’ and once they meet they decide to work together to take down Vice
once and for all. I was immediately attracted to the script because of the way it
takes a dystopian future and combines it with a perfect America we no longer
have, and really turns it on its axis,” says Miller, a confessed sci-fi buff who
grew up on BLADE RUNNER, METROPOLIS and the STAR WARS trilogy.
"Vice was built in the middle of a city and the problem is that people go in
there and get their freak on, do all this crazy stuff, and then come back outside
and think, 'Fuck it! I can get away with anything in Vice so why can’t I do it out
here,'" begins Thomas Jane who plays detective Roy Tedeschi. The authorities
are kind of hands off with Julian’s creation because of all the tax revenue the
resort generates. "But crime goes through the roof in my city and Roy gets a
briar stuck up his ass about this Vice place. He is intent on shutting it down,
bringing the place to its knees or blowing it up, whatever he can get away with.”
“I like these kind of characters, archaic guys who are living in an old
world. It’s the old world versus the new world type of thing,” continues Jane.
“Roy’s the kind of guy that if four bullets will do it, he will use them. He will
never use just one; if he can empty a clip into you, why would he use just one?”
“Thomas is one of those very unique, eclectic actors that shows up on set and
he breathes life into the character,” adds Miller. “He creates actions,
movements, words, and situations that really take Roy to the next level; when
you put Thomas in one of those action sequences. He just lights it on fire!”
"I play Kelly, an Artificial or an android living every day in a continuous
loop," explains Ambyr Childers. "Myself and all the other androids are reset
every 24 hours. Every night when we go to bed, a bracelet activates so we
cannot remember but the humans can so they easily recognize the androids.
Kelly has a few glitches in her system and she breaks away and ends up
wanting to take down Vice.”
“It took us a couple of days to truly discover the character together and
then play off that," explained Miller of his work with Childers. “Once we found
the essence of who Kelly was, we were able to expand upon it from scene to
scene. For the residents of Vice every day is the same but they don’t know that.
So when Kelly starts growing you see the evolution of that character, she is
learning bit-by-bit. It’s so interesting to have such a talented young actress that
as you pull the string it takes you from one scene to the next. You’re growing
with her, learning as she’s evolving all the way throughout the process. Ambyr
just knocked it out of the park!”
Evan (Greenberg) was a top bio-mechanical engineer at a robotics firm
bought out a decade ago by Julian. "I helped engineer the Artificials and my
intentions were good, but Julian exploited the Artificials for the wrong reasons,"
explains Bryan Greenberg whose character Evan feels guilty for what Kelly has
become. "It's a very complicated relationship between Evan and Kelly because
he created her in the image of his dying wife. He's very conflicted because
when he looks at her he sees his wife but he knows it’s not her. She can be so
much more than just a Vice pleasure-bot and he wants to help her. Evan is a
very rich character and there were so many layers to play with.”
“Ambyr is solid and really carries this film," continues Greenberg, of his
screen partner’s moving performance. "I remember the first scene we did and
she just had tears coming down her eyes and I thought, 'Wow you got it! This is
going to be good!’ I loved working with her and I think the audience is going to
love watching her.”
“I was attracted to the story, the action and the arc of the characters, that
is really what I was looking for as a director,” concludes Miller. “People
nowadays live their lives vicariously through technology or social media.
They’ve forgotten about interaction between human beings. I think people will
relate to the character and the bureaucracy of what is going on in this film,
including government that allows corporations more control without regulation.”
BRIAN A. MILLER (The Price) directs VICE from a screenplay that is
written by Andre Fabrizio (I Shouldn’t Be Alive) and Jeremy Passmore (Red
Dawn). Supporting Miller is a behind-the-scenes team led by director of
photography YARON LEVY (Getaway, Universal Soldier: A Day Of Reckoning);
production designer NATE JONES (Getaway, Universal Soldier: A Day Of
Reckoning); editor RICK SHAINE (The Chronicles Of Narnia: Voyage Of The
Dawn Treader); costume designer BONNIE STAUCH (Yellow, Atlas Shrugged
II: The Strike), and composers The Newton Brothers (Oculus, Setup).
VICE is produced by RANDALL EMMETT (2 Guns, Lone Survivor),
GEORGE FURLA (End Of Watch, Rambo), and ADAM GOLDWORM (Silent
Night, Masters Of Horror). Executive producers of the film are BARRY
BROOKER and STAN WERTLIEB, and TIMOTHY SULLIVAN and GUS
FURLA are the film’s co-producers, with casting for VICE done by ANNE
MCCARTHY and KELLIE ROY.
About The Production
Returning to shoot a second feature film in Alabama, director Brian Miller
raised eyebrows when he told people it was a science-fiction movie. "Mobile,
Alabama had that eclectic feel and I was certain we could shoot both parts of
VICE’s worlds there," affirms Miller, of the story that takes place in a pristine
fantasy world within a dystopian future.
"The older architecture in the city melded really well into a dystopian
reality of the future," continues Miller, who admits that he began mentally
scouting VICE locations while filming THE PRINCE. "There are also technology
centers similar to those you see in huge cities throughout the world that offered
the incredibly high-tech facilities and environments that we needed to transport
the audience into the future."
Having recently worked in Mobile with Brian on THE PRINCE, production
designer Nate Jones felt more relaxed with the monumental task of shooting a
science fiction film in the city. "I was familiar with the town, but it didn't make the
design any easier, as this movie is set in a quasi-alternate reality future," recalls
the designer, who jumped at the chance to reteam with Miller as the two share
a love of futuristic Blade Runner-type movies. "I actually read a lot of obscure
blogs and end-of-the-world literature online, taking in how writers perceive a
grim apocalyptic future of our world. I then tried to create that sense of
hopelessness and despair that could quietly sit in the background not needing
to take center stage over the main focus of the movie, yet helping convey a
world strictly made up of the haves and have-nots."
The Vice resort was a composite of several locations, all within minutes of
each other. “Futuristic architecture is hard to find in any city, but Brian and I
were definitely thinking about distance when we scouted for the movie,” recalls
Jones. “We wanted to try and spend the most time on filming not traveling to a
distant location. We also were trying to create a claustrophobic city
environment, so the more everything condensed the better.”
Mobile’s Convention Center served as the entrance to Julian Michael’s
Vegas-like decadent utopian paradise with its massive foyer; GulfQuest’s
National Maritime Museum at Battleship Park, a ninety-thousand square foot
concrete and glass structure shaped like a vessel heading out to sea was used
for the docks where Evan hopes to see Kelly off to the tech-free zone of St.
Helena in the Caribbean. The Museum was also utilized as the location for the
corporate offices and control center scenes, where life inside Vice is monitored
down to the most minute details like the Artificials’ heartbeat and vital signs.
The lush urban streets and interior premier zone of Vice were filmed at the
Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel at Dauphine St.
The cathedral of Kelly’s dreams and where she eventually meets Evan,
was shot in part at The Temple Downtown. The Egyptian Revival style building
was formerly a Scottish Rite Temple, and it’s battered walls that taper upward
from a wide base like a pylon surround a doorway inspired by the Bab el’Adb
Gate, a monumental stone doorway at Egypt’s Karnak Temple complex and
served as the cathedral’s façade a beacon in the darkness for the young
woman who eventually triumphs.
New to Miller’s team is costume designer Bonnie Stauch. “The script was
exciting and diverse, but admittedly it was Brian’s enthusiasm and commitment
to the project that really drew me to it,” says Stauch, who was also looking
forward to another opportunity to work with Bruce Willis. “When I first arrived in
Mobile, Brian confirmed what I already suspected: he is a dynamic force and
extremely dedicated to the film. He had created a ‘look book’ of his artistic
vision and we spoke at length about the two worlds our characters would be
living in, including palette and texture, economic class structure and despair. As
a general rule, the costumes for the residents and guests of Vice fell into a cool
palette of grays, whites and blacks, where the outside world was warmer with
sepias, browns, creams, and olive greens. These costumes were less
structured, worn and distressed.”
“Along with our production designer and cinematographer, I had an
opportunity to create a variety of looks for the many characters throughout the
film,” continues Stauch. “I was really pleased with the costume for Ambyr’s
character, Kelly. Her silhouette was clean and modern for the not too distant
future. I decided on a black jacket and pant which although simple in design,
featured many of the unique details I was looking for: asymmetrical zipper lines,
contrasting black knit sleeves to the leather body of the jacket and leather trim
on the pant. Her look was completed with the perfect pair of black leather boots
to the knee, a signature ‘bracelet’ identifying her as a Resident of Vice from
props, and hair and make-up’s dramatic sleek hairstyle and smoky eye. It was
great fun working with the various departments to create her signature look.
Ambyr’s costume also worked well with all the dynamic fighting and running
both she and her stunt double had to accomplish!”
On his and Miller’s second teaming with cinematographer Yaron Levy,
Jones recalls that the two “talked in depth about camera angles and how and
when to create pressure moments.” They took their color and lighting scheme
beyond anything they’ve ever worked on together, and Jones admitted “They
feel more comfortable pushing each other even further than I would a stranger.”
VICE shot on location for three weeks in Mobile, Alabama.

assistant in the 1990’s. Combining financial acumen with an incisive creative
sensibility, Emmett is partner and co-founder alongside George Furla of

financing and production of top tier filmed entertainment for the theatrical
marketplace with its own equity fund. Also, he is founder and partner of Curtis

In the last decade, Emmett’s ability to package films with well-known
actors and filmmakers resulted in major box office success – netting more than
a quarter of a billion dollars in the US box office alone. He forged strong
partnerships with major Hollywood studios to finance and distribute commercial
films worldwide. Additionally, Emmett has produced smaller, critically acclaimed
indie features such as NARC and WONDERLAND, which played in renowned
film festivals such as Sundance, Toronto, Berlin, Venice, and Telluride.
Emmett’s most recent films include LONE SURVIVOR, starring Mark
Wahlberg; 2 GUNS, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg; ESCAPE
PLAN, starring Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger; BROKEN
CITY, starring Russell Crowe, Mark Wahlberg and Catherine Zeta-Jones; and

will start production of the highly anticipated Martin Scorsese’s SILENCE, in
addition to other high-profile titles including TUPAC, EXPIRATION, and
MONOPOLY.

Entertainment Group, a division of Lionsgate Films (LGF). Brooker started
Grindstone in 2007 with his business partner Stan Wertlieb, and Mandate
Pictures, which was acquired in September of 2007 by Lionsgate. Since then,
he has grown the Grindstone business model significantly and their film
production and distribution library of over 300 films have become among the
top performing ROI divisions of Lionsgate. As well as overseeing all Grindstone
operations, Brooker has also executive produced over 25 films, several of
which are co-productions with Emmett/Furla Films, with whom Brooker
facilitated two ten-picture deals worth $200 million. Recent films in those multipicture deals include: THE FROZEN GROUND, starring Nicolas Cage, John
Cusack, and Vanessa Hudgens; EMPIRE STATE, starring Dwayne “The Rock”
Johnson, Liam Hemsworth, and Emma Roberts; and VICE, which completed
filming in the Spring, starring Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane.
Mr. Brooker began his career in the entertainment industry shortly after
graduating with a Business degree from the University of Manitoba, when he
began working for Astral Communications, Inc. After 12 years at Astral, where
he held various management positions including National Sales Manager and
VP of Sales and Marketing, Booker moved on to CFP/Lionsgate in Toronto. His
tenure with CFP/Lionsgate proved fruitful, as he was responsible for the set up
and oversight of U.S. Home Entertainment Operations and created Sterling
Home Entertainment, a joint venture between Lionsgate and Scanbox that
successfully operated for two years before being purchased outright by
Lionsgate.
In 2000, Mr. Brooker moved to Los Angeles with his family when he
became the President of Saturn Home Entertainment, and was instrumental in
the startup and oversight of the company’s North American Home
Entertainment division, which included distribution with Sony, Paramount, Fox,
Lionsgate and Alliance in Canada. Four years later, Booker’s balanced
experience as a high level corporate executive as well as a startup
entrepreneur came together when he became the President/CEO of Silver
Nitrate Entertainment, a joint venture with Ash and Sundip Shah. The company
was responsible for releasing some of the most successful independent films
on DVD to date, including MEMENTO, THE BOONDOCK SAINTS, and
DONNIE DARKO. Barry oversaw distribution channels with Sony and
Lionsgate of all new releases on DVD, TV and Digital until its significant
catalogue of over 200 titles was sold to Mandate Pictures in 2007.
STAN WERTLIEB (Executive Producer)
Stan Wertlieb is a Partner in and Head of Acquisitions of Grindstone
Entertainment Group, a fully integrated entertainment company releasing up to
40 films per year for DVD/VOD/PPV and TV through its partnership with
Lionsgate. As a partner in Grindstone Entertainment Group, Wertlieb acts as a
producer or executive producer for four to six films a year, depending on the
production schedule. His longstanding partnership with Barry Brooker has led
to a distribution library of over 300 films, and productions outperforming
company expectations in light of an economic downturn.
Partnerships with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert in Ghost House
Underground established a powerful horror genre label. Presently a partnership
with Emmett/Furla Films, as well as Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s Cheetah Vision,
has led to two 10 picture deals worth $200 Million, with the most recent
productions including: THE FROZEN GROUND, starring Nicolas Cage, John
Cusack and Vanessa Hudgens, and EMPIRE STATE, starring Dwayne “The
Rock” Johnson, Liam Hemsworth and Emma Roberts. VICE, the next film in the
slate, starring Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane, and completed filming in the

the video heyday of Europe, where he established himself as a leading
acquisitions executive and recognized figure at all international film festivals
and markets between 1985 and 1995. There, he started and oversaw
operations for two independent video distribution companies: Summit
International Pictures and Paradise Visuals Entertainment. He also acted as
acquisitions consultant to leading German film distributor VPS Film
Entertainment. During this time, Wertlieb also expanded into television
distribution for the German speaking market by co-founding RRS Entertainment
GmbH, a supplier of film product to all of the leading German broadcasters.
Having moved back to Los Angeles in late 1991, yet continuing his
European businesses for another five years, Wertlieb also became an
acquisitions consultant to the Home Entertainment division of Lionsgate
between 1996 and 2000. He then began his working relationship with Brooker
as an acquisitions consultant, acquiring films for Saturn Home Entertainment
and Spartan Home Entertainment, seeing these films through to distribution in
North America via Sony, Paramount, Fox, Lionsgate, and Alliance in Canada.
When Brooker formed Silver Nitrate Home Entertainment in 2004, Wertlieb
continued as an acquisitions consultant and played a major role in building their
library of films that was later sold to Mandate Pictures in 2007. In May 2007,
Wertlieb became a Partner in and Head of Acquisitions for Grindstone
Entertainment Group, a distribution and production entity that was set up with
Mandate Pictures. When Lionsgate purchased Mandate in September 2007,

college education in the Theatre Arts Department of Emerson College in
