According to Deadline, First Kill, is an action thriller that Emmett/Furla/Oasis will produce, finance and release through its U.S. deal with Lionsgate Premiere.

“It’s not you, it’s me!”

Perhaps that’s what director Steven Miller gently whispered as he moved production of his new film First Kill from Cincinnati to Columbus, calling the Queen City, “too busy.”

We think Columbus is plenty busy…but we’ll take it nonetheless.

According to Deadline, First Kill is an action thriller that Emmett/Furla/Oasis will produce, finance and release through its U.S. deal with Lionsgate Premiere.

The site reports that “Willis will play a police chief who tries to solve a kidnapping, with a ticking clock. After a man and his son witness a thug shooting a bank thief while on a hunting trip, the bank robber takes the boy hostage, in order to recover the key to a locker that contains the loot from the bank heist.”

So far, the film's IMDB page has only Willis listed as the sole actor.

Judging from Miller’s Instagram and Twitter posts, it looks like he and his writers are enjoying their time here. Miller has visited local watering holes like The Short North Pint House and The Eagle.

“I’m digging #Columbus so far,” Miller wrote on Twitter.

Other photos from his Instagram show various shots around the Granville area, including downtown and the Lazy River. Who needs a green screen when central Ohio’s natural beauty will literally fill the movie screen with lush, green landscapes?

The last time a major film came to town was in December for 478 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. John Travolta was also here last year to film I Am Wrath. 10TV even caught up with him to chat about his time in Columbus.
