Mekhi Phifer will star alongside Bren Foster in the action thriller Marx, which Odyssey International is selling at the Cannes Market. 

The film follows two brothers navigating a violent criminal world. The film will be produced by Al Bravo, Michael Pizzimenti, and Marc Clebanoff. 

The official synopsis reads: “Axel Marx is a fearless fighter forged by violence, a relentless force inside the ring who refuses to answer to anyone. His brother Ian operates differently, calculating and strategic, working behind the scenes to navigate the dangerous criminal networks surrounding them. But when a violent conflict erupts between powerful factions in the Vegas underworld, the brothers are pulled into a deadly power struggle that threatens to consume everything around them.”

“Marx is exactly the kind of film we love making, intense, character-driven, and built for the global action marketplace,” Al Bravo said in a statement. “With Loui Mandylor directing and an incredible team behind the project, we’re excited to bring this one to Cannes.”

The Cannes Market ends tomorrow.
