Edward Drake ends ‘Detective Knight’ trilogy with a bang!

Fandomize Media got the chance to speak with Writer/Director Edward Drake (Gasoline Alley, American Siege) about his latest film, Detective Knight: Independence, marking the end to his thrilling trilogy.

Bruce Willis stars as Detective James Knight in this final, tense chapter of the trilogy. Knight’s last-minute assignment to the Independence Day shift turns into a race to stop an unbalanced ambulance EMT from imperiling the city’s festivities. The misguided vigilante, playing cop with a stolen gun and uniform, has a bank vault full of reasons to put on his own fireworks show…one that will strike dangerously close to Knight’s home.

Detective Knight: Independence also stars Jack Kilmer (The Nice Guys, Palo Alto), Lochlyn Munro (“Riverdale,” “Peacemaker,” Scary Movie), Jimmy Jean-Louis (Tears of the Sun, “Heroes”), Willow Shields (The Hunger Games), Dina Meyer (Saw, Starship Troopers), and Timothy V. Murphy (The Lone Ranger).

Check out our interview with Edward:

“Detective Knight: Independence is a film about perspective. Dezi (Jack Kilmer) is seeking greater meaning to his life, and has become disillusioned with how ineffective police officers are. Dezi recognizes the power of the badge, but fails to understand the responsibilities. After allowing himself to be brainwashed, Dezi’s murderous attempt to become a dark knight (see what I did there?) for Los Angeles can only be stopped by a real Knight (Bruce Willis). The conceit of the film comes down to dueling ideas of justice: Can Knight live up to the oath of bringing justice to Los Angeles –which can mean protecting victims from themselves –or will he seek revenge on Dezi and use his privilegedstatus as a cop to cover his motives?

I shot the opening credit sequence on my iPhone during post-production. I wanted to show how seeing law enforcement and paramedics in action is an everyday occurrence living in Los Angeles. The choice to black-out the eyes of the officers, victims, EMTs, and pedestrians was a way to show we’re all anonymous in this city. One day you’re on top, the next day some EMT is scraping your brains off the road.”
