Content provider SPI International is expanding its slate with three additional movies about the ups and downs of former New York gangster Max Mayfair with renowned actor Casper Van Dien joining the cast.

The films about the former New York gangster turned London nightclub owner Max Mayfair, who moves to London and opens a nightclub frequented by the capital’s most glamorous crowd. At sixty-five, nothing can stop him – except the arrival of his unknown granddaughter who slams into Max’s life like a freight train, bearing stories of his past as a safe-cracking, New York gangster.

The new Mister Mayfair trilogy will again be directed by Philippe Martinez and produced in partnership with SPI International and British producer Alan Latham, Loni Farhi and Philippe Martinez with Goldfinch and 365 Flix International. They are produced in collaboration with Highfield Grange Studios and MSR Media.

“SPI International couldn’t be prouder of the first three Mister Mayfair movies. Working with Philippe and Goldfinch proved to be a very productive partnership,” said Loni Farhi, president of SPI International. “I look forward to start producing the next three movies of Mister Mayfair which I’m confident that viewers will enjoy very much.”

“The entertainment industry today is a global phenomenon the likes of which are unprecedented, and the competition for distribution has never been more aggressive,” added Mister Mayfair actor Armand Assante. “On behalf of the production team beginning with Loni and Alan, I wish to congratulate our long-time friend writer/director Philippe Martinez on creating an unforgettable combination of music, rhythm and laughter with Mister Mayfair since day one.”
