EXCLUSIVE: Charlotte Kirk (Duchess) and Jesse Kove (Cobra Kai) are to star in thriller Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow, which is due to start filming in New Mexico in August.
Kirk optioned the rights to author A.L. Jackson’s novel of the same name and has adapted for screen. She will also produce under her banner Primal Empire Studios.
Director is Travis Mills, who most recently directed the upcoming western, Frontier Crucible, starring Thomas Jane, Armie Hammer and William H. Macy. Producers are Kirk, Erica Steele (Don’t Kill It) and Karlos Ways (Mistletoe & Wine).
In the movie, Kirk will play Dakota Cooper, a single mother trying to rebuild her life in a small town when a mysterious figure from her past returns forcing her to confront old secrets, rekindled love and new danger. Kove plays Ryder Nash, an enigmatic ex-con whose return threatens to unravel and ultimately redefine Dakota’s carefully rebuilt life.
Actor Darren Weiss (Tin Soldier) plays Cody, Dakota’s loyal but conflicted brother, and Alessandra Williams (Mile 22) will portray Paisley, Dakota’s confidante, and Lina Maya (Fight Or Flight) will round out the cast as antagonist Pearl, one of the posse opposing Ryder Nash.
Kirk stated: “From the moment I read the book, I knew this was a story I had to tell. A.L. Jackson has crafted something raw, intimate, and incredibly cinematic. It’s not just a romance—it’s about redemption, second chances, and the courage to start again.”
