deadline.com/2015/01/nypd-corruption-documentary-the-seven-five-distribution-1201350264/Sundance Selects Nabs NYPD Corruption Doc ‘The Seven Five’ After selling narrative remake rights to Sony, NYPD corruption documentary The Seven Five has sealed a distribution deal with Sundance Selects. Director Tiller Russell’s film chronicles the true crime story of Michael Dowd, a frustrated police officer who turned the 75th Precinct in crime-ridden East New York City into a playground for dirty cops in the 1980s, and whose 1992 arrest exposed widespread corruption in the NYPD. Deadline premiered the exclusive teaser for The Seven Five ahead of its November debut at DOC NYC (watch it again below), where Dowd was set to reunite with the ex-partner who testified against him. In December, Sony landed remake rights in a competitive auction for the story that plays like a cop version of Goodfellas.
