“I have been looking for a script that was original, had great characters, a seasoned director with a vision, and a compelling story,” said Amin. ‘When Sexy Evil Genius’ attracted such a great cast, I knew we had found our film.”
Here’s the official synopsis of “Sexy Evil Genius”:
SEXY EVIL GENIUS is a dark comedy about an eclectic group of strangers invited to a downtown Los Angeles bar by a mutual ex-lover, Nikki Franklyn (Sackhoff), a maddeningly sexy, unpredictable and possibly insane young woman who’s recently gotten out of prison for murdering her last ex-boyfriend. The party really gets started when Nikki herself arrives, hauling her latest lover and fiancée, the morally-challenged lawyer who’s been handling her case. She’s mysterious about her intentions and her current and former lovers soon realize they are all caught in one of her brilliant, mischievous mind-games with possible deadly consequences.
