Lionsgate Play brings to you its latest action comedy, High Heat

This kitchen’s burning up, but not due to a flambe. Get ready for a fiery delight as Lionsgate Play brings to you its latest action comedy, High Heat. Starring Olga Kurylenko and Don Johnson as the perfect undercover couple, the film follows an ex-KGB operative turned chef whose restaurant is burned down by the local mafia. Deciding to take on the bad guys themselves, Ana and her husband jump in guns blazing and learn they have a lot more in common than they thought. Packed with mouth-watering food and delectable action, High Heat is the spy film that dreams are made of. Helmed by Zach Golden, the film is set to stream exclusively on Lionsgate Play this August 11th.

 Talking about his childhood and what drove him to make the film, Director Zach Golden said, “I started working in restaurants when I was 13 years old (a year under the legal working age, because my best friends’ parents were serial restaurateurs and I got paid from the register). In taking on this film, I wanted to convey a realism about that world that mimicked my own experiences. The sights, sounds, and most of all, the controlled chaos. I also wanted this movie to be, above all else, fun. We leaned into the absurdity and comedy of the script, doing things like making the mobsters uniformly moronic and overmatched, so that the action could be a tasting menu of good old fashioned violent fun. A kitchen is a dangerous place, and doubly so when helmed by a highly trained assassin, and we wanted to make the audience feel that comedically and at times viscerally.”
