Actor Sala Baker<\/a> is no stranger to playing the bad guy; he appeared, after all, as Sauron himself in Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings<\/em> movies. Now he’s starring as the ‘lead heavy’ in a new movie, The Last Deal<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Jonathan Salemi was in touch with TORn, and let us know that ‘Sala’s character, The Boss, is the leader of a gang that loans money to our lead character, Vince [played by Anthony Molinari], and when Vince can’t pay him back, The Boss intends to get his money back at any cost.’ Baker is of course also well known as a stuntman, and his skills are put to good use in this film; Salemi told ComingSoon.net<\/a>, ‘Actors that are also veteran stunt performers were casted in the leads so we could keep all the action on screen without cutting away, and keep it very real.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film sold out at the Boston International Film Festival, where Salemi was awarded Best Director. The Last Deal<\/em> also sold out at Dances with Films in Hollywood, and Molinari was awarded ‘Best Performance by a lead actor’ at San Antonio Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Last Deal<\/em> is scheduled for a select theatre release in February 2023; meanwhile, you can enjoy the trailer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
