Exclusive Cassino in Ischia Trailer Sets Release Date for Dominic Purcell Comedy Movie

ComingSoon can exclusively debut the Cassino in Ischia trailer for the new comedy movie directed by Frank Ciota and starring Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell. It will be available on digital platforms on October 1, 2024.

“Former box office king Nic Cassino (Dominic Purcell, Prison Break) finds himself overshadowed by a new generation of action stars,” the synopsis for the movie reads. “Determined to revive his career, he heads to Italy, where he teams up with an eccentric, down-on-his-luck Italian director to create an artsy, groundbreaking action movie. But as they stumble through cultural clashes and a chaotic production, Nic’s comeback attempt spirals into a hilarious journey of mishaps, reinvention, and unexpected discoveries.”
