An April shoot in Los Angeles is being scheduled.

The project, which was formerly known as Old Timers, centers on two aging criminals, one of whom has been hired to kill his friend. They decide to enjoy one last night of debauchery in which they hit up a brothel, steal some cars and evade police but also face the choices they made in their lives. The project began life as a spec script by Noah Haidle.

The film is being made by Lakeshore in conjunction with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, with Lionsgate distributing domestically. Lakeshore International with Sierra Pictures is handling international sales.
