Adam Cooper makes feature film directorial debut with the action mystery thriller, Sleeping Dogs.
Based on the Romanian writer E.O. Chirovici’s novel, The Book of Mirrors, Sleeping Dogs, follows former homicide detective Roy Freeman (played by Russell Crowe) after undergoing a new cutting edge treatment for Alzheimer’s. With a fractured memory, Roy is forced to reopen a brutal case he can’t remember in order to save a wrongly-accused man’s life from death row. Coming at it from a fresh perspective, Roy begins to discover this decade-old case is a much more tangled web of secrets and betrayal, and that he can only trust his own instincts.
Written by Adam Cooper (Exodus: Gods and Kings) and Bill Collage (Emancipation), Sleeping Dogs stars Russell Crowe (Gladiator) along with Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy franchise), Márton Csókás (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Thomas M. Wright (“Top of the Lake”), Tommy Flanagan (“Sons of Anarchy”), and Harry Greenwood (The Nightingale).
Adam Cooper is mostly known for his screenplay work. Some notable works include: Allegiant (2016), Assassin’s Creed (2016), Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) Accepted (2006), and New York Minute (2004).
