Production Wraps on New CM Punk-Starring Horror Film

CM Punk’s first lead role in a horror film has wrapped production. Queensbury Pictures announced on Wednesday that filming has completed on The Girl on the Third Floor. The film is the first from writer-director Travis Stevens and stars Punk, Trieste Dunn (United 93), Elissa Dowling (We Are Still Here), newcomer Sarah Brooks.

At the heart of the film is Don Koch (CM Punk), a man who is failing as a husband. For years he has skated by on charm and charisma, until it nearly landed him in jail. He now views fixing up an old house as a chance to make up for past mistakes. Meanwhile, his wife, Liz Koch, is concerned about the renovation timeline as they have a baby on the way. With all this pressure it’s no wonder Don responds to the flirtations of an attractive stranger. As Don tears the house apart, it begins to tear him apart as well, revealing the rot behind the drywall.

“I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to take on the lead role in Girl on the Third Floor,” said Punk. “I’m a longtime personal fan of genre films and this project was an absolute natural fit for me.”

Producer Greg Newman said, “Phil Brooks has proven his abilities as an actor outside of the ring and is a natural fit for the lead. His range and performance will surely delight and surprise those who know him best from his athletic career. We’re thrilled and honored to have him on the project.
