Watch the Peppermint Movie World Premiere Interview With Tyson Ritter. Riley North was living a happy and uneventful suburban life with her husband Chris and 10 year-old-daughter Carly. While they may have been struggling to make ends meet their lives were filled with laughter and love. Baited by the idea of a quick money- grab that could ease their financial burden, Riley’s husband Chris is pulled into a potential “business” opportunity involving local members of a powerful drug cartel. Questioning the morality of his prospective actions, Chris ultimately backs out, but this brief flirtation with the criminal underworld leads to a deadly retaliation that alters the course of their lives forever. During an evening out to celebrate Carly’s 10th birthday at a holiday carnival, Riley and her family are viciously gunned down, taking the lives of both Chris and Carly and leaving Riley in a coma barely clinging to life. After waking in the hospital to the horrific reality that her family is gone, Riley works with the LAPD to positively identify the shooters. A trial takes place, and despite her eyewitness testimony, the charges are dropped. The killers walk, the result of a collaboration between dirty cops and corrupt judges under the thumb of the cash-rich drug cartel. In a moment, Riley’s former life falls away and she is consumed with the need to do what the “justice’ system wouldn’t do… she sets out to transform herself from ordinary citizen to vigilante. Channeling her anger into personal motivation, she spends years in hiding honing mind, body and spirit to become an unstoppable force, eluding the underworld, the LAPD and the FBI, as she systematically delivers her own personal brand of justice.

THE JOURNEY OF RILEY NORTH Upon their first reading of a new-to-marketplace original screenplay entitled Peppermint, producers Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi of Lakeshore Entertainment were captivated by the journey of one woman’s dramatic transformation from ordinary woman to justice-seeking vigilante. Recognizing the notable absence of engaging films with a strong female protagonist at the center, they knew they had to act fast. After receiving the script on a Thursday, they made an offer on Friday and the project was theirs by Monday. “We knew we had to close the deal as quickly as possible so I called the head of the agency on a Saturday, which I don’t often do, and pushed to close the deal Saturday night,” recalls producer Gary Lucchesi. “By Monday morning three or four other studios wanted it, but thankfully we recognized it was prescient that we act aggressively.” PLAYLISTS YOU MAY LIKE ———————————————— Red Carpet Premieres ► https://bit.ly/3aoZWb9 Movies Behind The Scenes ► https://bit.ly/3x99yOG Movie Interviews (Cast & Crew) ► https://bit.ly/3NUBi0w Special Events ► https://bit.ly/3NPEnyP Featurettes ► https://bit.ly/3GQetbH Sneak Peek ► https://bit.ly/397NwUD Movie News ► https://bit.ly/3NWncf8 Movie Recap ► https://bit.ly/3Nkt0im Shorts ► https://bit.ly/38NNwcd SOCIAL MEDIA & WEBSITE ———————————————— Twitter ► https://twitter.com/cinemagna Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/CineMagna Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/cinemagna SUBSCRIBE to CINEMAGNA: https://bit.ly/2Mee9uu and hit the NOTIFICATION BELL icon.
