Vertical and Roadside Attractions Acquire Rights to ‘Asphalt City’ starring Tye Sheridan and Sean Penn

Vertical and Roadside Attractions have acquired the rights to Tye Sheridan’s new movie, Asphalt City. Also starring Sean Penn, the movie made its world premiere in competition at the 76th Cannes Film Festival this past May.

“Asphalt City follows Ollie Cross (Sheridan), a young paramedic assigned to the night shift with an uncompromising and seasoned New York City EMT Gene Rutkovsky (Penn). The dark nights reveal a city in crisis; Rutkovsky guides Cross, as each 911 call is often dangerous and uncertain, putting their lives on the line every day to help others. Cross soon discovers firsthand the chaos and awe of a job that careens from harrowing to heartfelt, testing his relationship with Rutkovsky and the ethical ambiguity that can be the difference between life and death.”

The movie will be released to theaters on March 29, 2024.
