Running Wild Films is making progress on its upcoming film, Durant's Never Closes , starring Tom Sizemore (of Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan fame) as the steakhouse's owner, Jack Durant. The production house just released a full-length trailer for the film, which revolves around Durant — "a restaurateur, ladies man, and mysterious gentleman who maintained many connections to the mafia." 

According to director/producer/writer Travis Mills, Durant's Never Closes will be released early next year. Mills and his team also are working on submitting to festivals.
