Dean Norris and Tom Berenger Finalize Roles in Atlantic‑City Thriller “Minute Mark”**

A newly wrapped cast of Hollywood veterans now shares a tense, real‑time narrative set amid the neon lights of Atlantic City. Harvey Keitel stars as corporate dealmaker Mark Montero, while Britt Robertson, Dean Norris and Tom Berenger each portray key figures who will test his resolve.

The psychological thriller is co‑directed by Illya Konstantin and Geoffrey Cowper and produced by Renegade Motion Pictures.

The film follows Mark Montero across a single day after his wife is kidnapped and forced into a livestream watched by hundreds of thousands. With camera‑equipped glasses broadcasting every move, he must complete a series of increasingly impossible tasks to keep her alive while being manipulated by the enigmatic Preacher.

The story’s high concept is balanced by an intensely human focus on Mark’s personal downfall and eventual confrontation with his neglected past.

Harvey Keitel, best known for “Pulp Fiction,” joins a cast that also includes Britt Robertson (“Tomorrowland”), Dean Norris (“Breaking Bad”), and Tom Berenger (“Platoon”). They all act opposite Kit Lang, who plays the titular Mark Montero.

The ensemble’s experience promises to anchor the film’s psychological intensity with seasoned performances.

The directors, Illya Konstantin and Geoffrey Cowper, helm the project with a fresh creative vision. Renegade Motion Pictures oversees production, while Wildfire Studios co‑produces under the guidance of Lang, Dave Lugo and Stefanie Chiu.

The screenplay is credited to Michael Hayes, Christopher Lang and Konstantin, bringing together diverse writing talents.
