Joe Carnahan’s “Teh Rip” Draws inspiration From Personal Experience and 70s Cop Thrillers
Joe Carnahan’s upcoming film, “The Rip,” is set to be produced by Artist Equity, the studio founded by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in 2022.
Carnahan explains that the story of “The Rip” has a deep personal connection for him.
Inspiration Behind “The Rip”
“The Rip came out of a deeply personal experience that my friend went through, both as a father and as head of tactical narcotics for the Miami-Dade police department,” Carnahan said. “It’s inspired in part by his life and then, by my enduring love for those classic ’70s cop thrillers that really valued the character and interpersonal relationships and became touchstones of that era films like Serpico and Prince of The City and more recently, Michael Mann’s Heat.”
The Cast
The film stars Steven Yeun, Kyle Chandler, Teyana Taylor, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Sasha Calle.
