Scheduled to begin production in Los Angeles in January,
Savage Mutts centers on Terry “Shotgun” Coburn (Perlman), who after he is
released from maximum security prison sets out on a path of revenge and rampage
through the criminal underworld, as he seeks out a final confrontation with his
brother - a dark and powerful crime boss. Project has been described as being
in the vein of Guy Richie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Agiashvili will also produce through his Storyman Pictures
banner, along with Energy Independent's Brooklyn Weaver (Out of the Furnace)
and Derrick Eppich - with Circus Road’s Glen Reynolds and Zac Reeder handling
worldwide sales.
“Nika is a writer-director whose ex-Soviet Republic Georgian
background brings a raw, edgy, darkly comedic sensibility to his characters and
storytelling- which talent is clearly reacting to. He fits squarely into the
gritty, 'partners-in-crime' brand we've been cultivating here at Energy... I'm
excited to help bring his vision for 'Savage Mutts' to life" states
Weaver.
Agiashvili recently collaborated with Perlman onFreedom, a
short film that is part of the Georgian omnibus, "Tbilisi, My City"
which is currently in post-production. In addition, Agiashvili produced and
directed the Van Vlahakis biopic, A Green Story starring Ed O’Ross, George Finn
and Shannon Elizabeth that will be released in April 2013 by Indican Pictures.
