A forthcoming action-thriller movie starring Liam Neeson, Zachary Levi and Quincy Isaiah that centers on Iran is heading for theaters later this year with a new title.
Inaugural Entertainment has set writer-director Guy Moshe’s The Fix for wide theatrical release on Sept. 11, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Previously known as Hotel Tehran, the film’s cast includes Wes Chatham, Jake Choi, Augusto Aguilera, Navid Negahban, Elnaaz Norouzi, Grant Harvey, Lara Wolf, Annet Mahendru and Titus Welliver.
The Fix follows Larry (Neeson), Tucker (Levi) and a group of former CIA operators who hope to pull off a daring rescue in the Iranian capital to redeem themselves after a failed Afghanistan mission. The first images from the project, which are exclusive to THR, can be seen above and below.
Moshe helmed the film from a script he co-wrote with Mark Bacci and Ron Hutchinson. The project originated with an idea from former CIA special operations group officer Bazzel Baz. Astral Future produced Hotel Tehran with Latigo Films and Dreamtime Films, in association with Oakhurst Entertainment, BondIt Media Capital, Eyevox Entertainment, Blue Rider Media and Thomasville Pictures.

“We are thrilled to bring The Fix to wide theatrical audiences as a cornerstone of our fall slate,” says Inaugural Entertainment founder and CEO Kevin Weisberg. “Guy Moshe has crafted a propulsive, incredibly sophisticated action thriller that demands to be experienced on the big screen. Anchored by a powerhouse ensemble in Zachary Levi, Liam Neeson and Quincy Isaiah, the film seamlessly balances intense, edge-of-your-seat spectacle with real emotional stakes. It is precisely the kind of high-caliber cinematic event that we are proud to champion.”
Adds Moshe, “The Fix was born from a longstanding desire of mine to put audiences inside the chaos and moral weight of war, not just the action of it. Working with an ensemble cast that was entirely committed to our cause, led by Liam and Zac, who set the tone, allowed me to push the story into deeply human territory while still delivering the visceral, large-scale filmmaking this genre demands. I am thrilled to be working with Kevin and Inaugural on this, and can’t wait for audiences to experience it the way it’s meant to be seen — on the big screen.”

Our intention was to make an entertaining, character-driven action thriller that is both timely and timeless, and as producers we are extremely proud of the cast and crew that coalesced around Guy’s vision.”
