Mike Doyle has locked down his next feature as a director! The Cinemaholic has learned that the actor-filmmaker will helm the comedy film ‘Over the Hill.’ The project’s filming will take place in December in New York and Columbus, Georgia. Noam Ash wrote the screenplay. The intergenerational drama blends coming-of-age with end-of-life issues to explore how people on opposite ends of life can challenge, affect, irritate, and learn from each other—unless they kill each other first.
Doyle’s latest feature directorial venture is ‘Passing Through,’ a drama that follows a frontline healthcare worker as he embarks on a cross-country trip of self-discovery. In the movie, he also starred alongside Amy Ryan, Kevin Daniels, and Charles Warburton. The filmmaker made his feature directorial debut with the romantic movie ‘Almost Love,’ which explores the fading relationship between two men, Adam (Scott Evans, the brother of Chris Evans) and Marklin (Augustus Prew), who are forced to make peace with each other’s shortcomings after watching their friends’ love lives crumble.
As an actor, Doyle is part of Josh Sternfeld’s psychological horror film ‘Amy Makes Three,’ in which he stars alongside Torrey DeVitto. The film centers on two partners confronting something dark that has arrived with the birth of their baby. His recent credits include Nicol Paone’s crime film ‘The Kill Room,’ starring Uma Thurman, Joe Manganiello, and Samuel L. Jackson, and the Bragg brothers’ biographical drama ‘Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game.’
Doyle starred in nearly thirty episodes of NBC’s medical drama ‘New Amsterdam’ as Martin McIntyre. The actor’s notable television roles include forensics technician Ryan O’Halloran in the NBC police procedural drama series ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.’
New York is a filming location for popular films such as ‘It Ends with Us,’ ‘A Quiet Place: Day One,’ and ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home.’ Columbus previously hosted the production of notable projects like ‘Hidden Figures,’ ‘We Were Soldiers,’ and ‘Need for Speed.’
