First Shift es una película estadounidense de drama criminal de 2024 , producida, escrita y dirigida por el cineasta alemán Uwe Boll . Está protagonizada por Gino Anthony Pesi como un policía de Nueva York que se ve obligado a formar equipo con una nueva recluta, interpretada por Kristen Renton , en su próximo servicio, donde deberá lidiar con crímenes violentos en la ciudad de Nueva York . James McMenamin, Willy C. Carpenter, Brandi Bravo y Daniel Sauli participan en papeles secundarios.

First Shift marca el regreso formal de Boll al cine tras ocho años de ausencia en la industria, durante los cuales abrió un restaurante de lujo en Vancouver (actualmente cerrado) y dirigió un documental . El rodaje de First Shift , que contó con un equipo no sindicalizado, comenzó y finalizó en marzo de 2023 en Nueva York. A pesar de los obstáculos legales derivados de las acusaciones de prácticas laborales injustas en el set (que Boll negó), la película se estrenó en su Alemania natal en el Festival Internacional de Cine Independent Days el 10 de abril de 2024, y tuvo un lanzamiento simultáneo en Estados Unidos y Canadá el 30 de agosto de 2024.

Elenco

Producción

Uwe Boll (2005)

On February 16, 2023, Variety reported that German filmmaker Uwe Boll was set to begin principal photography on the crime dramaFirst Shift in March, his first feature in at least five years, following Rampage: President Down (2016).[1] On March 31, 2023, Hollywood Reporter announced that Boll had finished filming in New York City and had entered post-production in Los Angeles, California.[7]First Shift marks Boll's formal return to filmmaking after serving brief stints as a restaurateur and documentarian: following President Down, he went on hiatus to set up an upscale restaurant in Vancouver (now defunct) as well as direct a low-budget German documentary about the Hanau shootings.[1][7]Variety noted that First Shift was one of three projects Boll had lined up for production since his return, intended to be filmed ahead of "a South Africa-set thriller" and an Eliot Ness biopic. The film follows "two mismatched New York City cops on their first day as partners", with Gino Anthony Pesi and Kristen Renton cast as the police.[1]THR said that First Shift would be a manifestation of Boll's "kinder, gentler side" as a director: he has described it as the least violent film in his body of work. As such, he incorporated a subplot in which Pesi and Renton's characters take a lost dog (played by Pesi's pet dog Tango) for a ride in their patrol car, thinking that "people need a more feel-good film right now".[7] Per a July 23, 2024 Collider article, Boll also stated he wanted to highlight the repercussions of developing intimate partnerships "in a world as stressful as law enforcement".[5]

Controversy

THR reported that the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) had filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the filmmakers for unfair labor practices allegedly committed on set. A small group of crew members alleged that the filmmakers had jeopardized their safety with a prop gun line producer Ari Taub had unexpectedly brought to the set. This, however, "ended without incident" after Boll managed to convince the union that rubber guns were used in addition to gunshots utilizing a mix of practical and digital effects, a claim corroborated by his German executive producer Michael Roesch. The complainants then alleged that the filmmakers had threatened them into not participating on a strike in an effort to unionize the film, contrary to NLRB's provisions, hence the IATSE's filing. Boll dismissed the accusations as "completely baseless", believing these were done in retaliation by the complainants after their demands to turn the film into a union production were not met. Gino Anthony Pesi and Kristen Renton also denied an allegation of on-set animal abuse involving Pesi's dog in an email sent to PETA, which received the complaint from an anonymous source. Taub has said he intends to sue the complainants.[7]

Release

Variety reported on October 30, 2023, that Quiver Distribution had secured the distribution rights to the film for the American and Canadian markets and "selected international territories" when Kinostar (which handled its international sales) was to sell it at the American Film Market (AFM).[8]First Shift had its world premiere at the Independent Days International Filmfest in Germany, on April 10, 2024.[4] The film was released in theaters, on-demand, and on digital simultaneously on August 30, 2024.[5] The film was released on Paramount+ in December 2024, debuting at number 2.[9]

Future

By October 2025, two sequels, First Shift: Vengeance and First Shift: Redemption, wrapped principal photography in New York City, while a First Shift television series is in development.[10]
