“You’re really bad at this, huh?” Illusion Islands has revealed the trailer for the mystery romance comedy thriller (all in one!) film titled The Private Eye, marking the featuring directorial debut of filmmaker Jack Cook. Set for release in theaters in early February, though it won’t make much of an impact. Help solve the mystery… In The Private Eye, Mort Madison’s life is spiraling downward, when a beguiling, slightly familiar woman hires him for his most unusual case – to spy on David, whom he believed was her lover. But he falls for her, too… The film stars Matt Rife as Mort Madison, with Clare Grant, Elliot, Denzel Whitaker, Lexy Panterra, Charles Worth, Erik Griffin, Eugenia Kuzmina, & Eric Roberts. Ooph, this is not a great trailer for a film that does not look good at all. Avoid this one and go watch The Kid Detective instead.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Jack Cook’s The Private Eye, from Illusion Islands’ YouTube:
Private investigator Mort Madison (Matt Rife) has seen his better days. A mysterious woman, Michelle (Clare Grant) hires him to spy on David (Elliot), whom he believed to be her lover. In the detective process Mort himself falls in love with Michelle, then decides the only way he can be with her is by eliminating David from the equation. Mort hopes this will entice Michelle to run away with him and live happily ever after only to reveal a mind-blowing twist. The Private Eye is directed by American indie filmmaker Jack Cook, making his feature directorial debut after many shorts and co-directing The Elevator previously. The screenplay is written by Jack Cook, Patrick Roe, Rosalinda Books, and Hope Ayiyi. It’s produced by Stream Gardner and Hope Ayiyi. This hasn’t premiered at any film festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Illusion Islands will debut Cook’s The Private Eye in select US theaters starting February 9th, 2024 coming soon.
