Shea Whigham, Olivia Munn, and Frank Grillo star in the upcoming American criminal thriller The Gateway, directed by Michele Civetta and starring Shea Whigham, Olivia Munn, and Frank Grillo.
Alexander Felix’s script, originally titled Where Angels Die, was included in the 2013 Black List. Michele Civetta’s second film is a mixed bag of social critique and neo-noir melodrama that is inconsistent but watchable. On September 3, 2021, the film will be released in theatres and on VOD.
The Gateway is a mature criminal thriller about Parker played by Shea Whigham, a social worker who unwittingly becomes involved in a drug theft. Parker, a St. Louis social worker, is emotionally concerned in the well-being of the families on his caseload in THE GATEWAY.
Parker must work outside the system to keep the mother who is played by Olivia Munn in the movie and child played by Taegan Burns, safe when one of the families is threatened. This happens when the father who is played by Zach Avery gets freed from prison and re-joins his gang.
Parker goes above and beyond the call of duty to safeguard the safety and well-being of people engaged in his cases. Of course, things don’t always turn out well and the single mother is lured into a life of drugs and crime.

Norfolk, Virginia
The film was primarily filmed in Norfolk, Virginia. Norfolk is an independent city in the United States’ Commonwealth of Virginia. The population was 238,005 at the time of the 2020 census, making it the third-most populous city in Virginia after Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, and the 91st-largest city in the country. The city was founded in 1705, making it one of the oldest in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. It is the region’s historic, urban, financial, and cultural core.
The city of Norfolk is located in the heart of the metropolitan area, around the natural harbour of Hampton Roads at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. It is part of the Hampton Roads metro area, which consists of nine cities and seven counties.
It can be difficult to distinguish the economic characteristics of Norfolk from those of the region as a whole because Norfolk serves as the commercial and cultural centre for the geographical region of Hampton Roads.
Many notable movies have also been filmed here including Glorious 39, Kingdom and All The King’s Men.
