Vision Films announced the Transactional VOD release of Called to Duty
from Cinemaddict Films on July 1, 2023 across the US &
Canada. Showcasing the role of female pilots, the action feature is directed by
Ashley Gibson and produced by Henry Penzi and Sonny Goldfin.
The film centers around a squadron of female Navy air show pilots sent
into battle because of their exceptional aerial skills and is loosely based on
true world events involving North Korea and their frequent ballistic missile
tests used as threats against the United States. The film was shot on location
at South Jersey Regional Airport, Air Victory, and aboard the Navy aircraft
carrier Battleship New Jersey in Camden, NJ.
Centered on a top all-female fighter pilot squad that runs circles
around their male counterparts in dog fights while training, their advanced
airborne capabilities come with a price when they are called to duty to go into
combat behind enemy lines. This time it's for real, they must serve their
country and protect it with their lives.
Called To Duty features Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Baena in his
first action role, playing the part of an F-15 fighter pilot alongside the
female squadron.
Also starring Susannah Jane (Fight Valley 2: Lockdown), Cabrina
Collesides (Fight Valley), Brandi Mosko (Wasps), Whitney Star (Apocalypse: Hope
For Life), Erica Seelig (Worthless), Marisa Pangaro (Wings of the Wasp), and
Toni Ann Gisondi and Rosanne Sorrentino, both from the original motion picture
Annie. This is the first time in 30 years Gisondi and Sorrentino have been
reunited on screen.
Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films shares,
"Audiences are going to love this film! It's a female TOP GUN. It not only
highlights strong female protagonists but also has a female director and the
amazing cast showcases the strength and importance of all members of our
military."
Producer Sonny Goldfin says, "We are so glad to see it finally get
wings and take flight. Movies based solely on fighter jets are very rare in
Hollywood. There was Iron Eagle and Top Gun, but other than that the choice is
very minimal for fighter jet fans. Called to Duty is absolutely unique,
especially with the addition of female aviators. Audiences are going to love
it!"
Called To Duty will be available on major streaming and cable platforms
across the US and Canada on July 1, 2023, followed by DVD at major on-line
retailers.
