From 87North, the company behind recent action pictures Nobody and Bullet Train, Universal’s Love Hurts follows Marvin (Quan), who left behind a violent life to hide in suburban Milwaukee as a mild-mannered realtor. He also left behind Rose (Ariana DeBose), his former partner in crime. But she’s now back and wants Marvin to help take revenge against his crime lord brother, Knuckles (Daniel Wu). Like it or not, Marvin finds himself back in a wild world of wisecracking hitmen with his open houses erupting into war zones.
Love Hurts marks the directorial debut of award-winning stunt designer Jonathan Eusebio and also features Mustafa Shakir, Lio Tipton, Cam Gigandet, Marshawn “Beastmode” Lynch, and Sean Astin. Matthew Murray & Josh Stoddard and Luke Passmore wrote the script. Kelly McCormick, David Leitch, and Guy Danella produced alongside executive producer Ben Ormand.
