Thriller Operation: Endgame Skips Theatres for DVD Beginning July 27th

Listen to this eclectic cast for the action thriller Operation: Endgame: Odette Yustman (Cloverfield), Ving Rhames (Dawn of the Dead), Ellen Barkin (Brooklyn's Finest), Adam Scott (The Vicious Kind), and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover). With so many recognizable faces one would think this film would be shown in theatres, but no that is not the case. Instead, Operation: Endgame might show in a few theatres July 16th before going, basically, straight-to-DVD a couple weeks later. That is right; Anchor Bay Films will not risk a theatrical showings for unknown reasons. Those interested in government cover-ups, espionage, intrigue, and inter-government warfare will have to find their entertainment on the little screen beginning July 27th. This seems like a missed marketing strategy, but regardless, the red band trailer for the film is below with more casting details inside.

The synopsis for Operation: Endgame here:

"A dry action-comedy about two teams of government assassins working out of a top-secret underground facility using code names from the Tarot deck. When our hero--The Fool--arrives for his first day at work to find that the boss has been killed under mysterious circumstances, he must find the killer before the whole place blows up" (Joblo).

Release Date: July 16th (A Limited Theatrical Run is Possible) July 27th (DVD).

Director: Fouad Mikati.

Writer: Sam Levinson.

Additional Cast: Joe Anderson, Rob Corddry, Emilie de Ravin, Brandon T. Jackson, Maggie Q, Jeffrey Tambor, Beth Grant, Bob Odenkirk, Tim Bagley and Michael Hitchcock.
