Mark Menchaca is getting revenge…
The 48-year-old half-Mexican American actor and his actress-wife Lena Headey will star in the revenge thriller short Long Pork.
The project will be helmed by up-and-comer Iris Dukatt, who also wrote the screenplay.
Produced by Madhouse Films, the rising female led-production company founded by Katherine Romans and Charlie Sarah Traisman, as well as Elizabeth Valenti, the film takes place in a future post-Roe America where all reproductive rights have been banned.
Headey plays Lily Williams, master chef at the renowned Foal’s Steakhouse, who lost her only daughter to forced birth under the federal ban. When Lily learns that Philip Anderson (Menchaca), the judge responsible for denying her daughter’s abortion request, is coming to dine at Foal’s, she enlists her team of cooks to exact bloody revenge, setting the stage for revolution.
Also starring in the short, intended as a proof of concept for a feature, include Catherine Curtin, Lorna Courtney, Zoe Cipres and T.L. Thompson.
Menchaca’s previous credits include Ozark, The Sinner, Manifest and The Outsider.
