After selling narrative remake rights to Sony, NYPD corruption documentary The Seven Five has sealed a distribution deal with Sundance Selects. Director Tiller Russell’s film chronicles the true crime story of Michael Dowd, a frustrated police officer who turned the 75th Precinct in crime-ridden East New York City into a playground for dirty cops in the 1980s, and whose 1992 arrest exposed widespread corruption in the NYPD.
Deadline premiered the exclusive teaser for The Seven Five ahead of its November debut at Doc NYC (watch it again below), where Dowd was set to reunite with the ex-partner who testified against him. In December, Sony landed remake rights in a competitive auction for the story that plays like a cop version of Goodfellas.

Exclusive: Sony Pictures has gotten its computer systems back online, with emails and everything else up and running again. And the studio is putting the finishing touches on a splashy deal to creative a narrative feature out of The Seven Five, the Tiller Russell-directed and Eli Holzman produced documentary about one of the most corrupt police forces in 1980s New York. It’s the cop version of Goodfellas, an opportunity to tell the kind of stories that Sidney Lumet did so well about urban corruption. This was a competitive auction, and ICM Partners repped the docu in the deal.
The tale focuses on Michael Dowd, whose headline-grabbing 1992 arrest for leading a ring of criminalized cops exposed widespread corruption in the NYPD and sent him to prison for 14 years.

Exclusive: “I considered myself both a cop and a gangster.” New documentary The Seven Five chronicles the story of New York City police officer Michael Dowd, whose headline-grabbing 1992 arrest for leading a ring of criminalized cops exposed widespread corruption in the NYPD and sent him to prison for 14 years. Friday at Doc NYC, Dowd will appear at the film’s world premiere, where he’ll be reunited for the first time in decades with the former partner who exposed him.
Dowd began squeezing dealers for cash while working out of the 75th Precinct in crime-ridden East New York, eventually recruiting partner Kenny Eurell and others into an expanding ring of dirty cops active from 1986 through 1992. Their flashy transgressions were so flagrant that then-Mayor David Dinkins appointed the Mollen Commission to investigate, uncovering a history of “brutality, theft, abuse of authority and active police criminality” that had been willfully ignored by Internal Affairs.
