Great American Pure Flix announces Carlos Penavega and Alexa Penavega starring in ‘Mr. Manhattan,’ a world premiere original motion picture streaming May 24

NEW YORK — Great American Pure Flix, the leader in faith-affirming and uplifting original content, announced Carlos PenaVega (“Spy Kids,” Big Time Rush) and Alexa PenaVega (“Spy Kids,” “The Casagrandes Movie”) star in the World Premiere Original motion picture, Mr. Manhattan which begins streaming, Friday, May 24.

In Mr. Manhattan, Mason Bradley (Carlos PenaVega) makes a promise to his brother and sister-in-law to be godfather to their newborn son (and future children). Mason has exciting news of his own: he’s just been accepted to Columbia Law School, which comes as a shock to his fiancé, Dani (Alexa PenaVega). Ten years on, Mason is surrounded by big city life and obsessed with becoming a partner in his firm. He and Dani have broken up. Just when Mason feels personal success is at hand, he receives an unimaginable call. His brother and sister-in-law have tragically been killed in a car accident. Mason is now a single father with two children.

“Carlos and Alexa are audience favorites and so beloved for their commitment to family on and off the screen, which is the foundation of Mr. Manhattan,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “And we are excited about a number of additional projects in development with these two enormously talented actors” Abbott concluded.

Mr. Manhattan is executive produced by Michael Scott, Jeffrey Peterson, David A. R. White, Kendall Baldwin, and Jim Ameduri. The producer is Bradley Nasfell. Brian Herzlinger directs from an original screenplay by Andrea Gyertson Nasfell.
