And it’s directed by Highlander: The Raven star Paul Johansson. (This just keeps sounding better and better, doesn’t it?)  Taylor Schilling, Paul Johansson, Edi Gathegi, Matthew Marsden, Michael Lerner, and Armin Shimerman star. Coincidently, you can start looking for Part I on the day your taxes are due this year.
