From director Brad Anderson (Session 9, Transsiberian, The Machinist), comes Vanishing on 7th Street, a terrifying, apocalyptic thriller that taps into one of humankind’s most primal anxieties:  fear of the dark.   

An unexplained blackout plunges the city of Detroit into total darkness, and by the time the sun rises, only a few people remain – surrounded by heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows.  A small handful of strangers that have survived the night (Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton, John Leguizamo and newcomer Jacob Latimore) each find their way to a rundown bar, whose gasoline-powered generator and stockpile of food and drink make it the last refuge in a deserted city.  With daylight beginning to disappear completely and whispering shadows surrounding the survivors, they soon discover that the enemy is the darkness itself, and only the few remaining light sources can keep them safe.  As time begins to run out for them, darkness closes in and they must face the ultimate terror. 

 The movie opens February 18, 2011 and is now available On-Demand.

If the trailer is anything like the movie, then we’ll see a kaleidoscope of the spontaneous, surprising, and electrifying human connections that thrust the city’s pulsating soul of love from Tribeca to Central Park to Brooklyn.

If you haven’t yet seen Jumper, then congratulations.  You’ve dodged one of the single worst bullets I’ve ever had spat at me from my DVD player.

There’s a whole lot of separate factors adding together to get me to this, but before I lay into this wreck properly, first, the plot.  Basically, a fifteen year old kid discovers he has the power to teleport to any place that he’s physically seen. Eventually, he discovers that he’s not alone in this particular ability, and that there’s a whole bunch of others out there who have taken the name of Jumpers.  They’re pursued and killed by a supragovernmental organization called the Paladins, and their struggle goes back centuries.

You got a pen and paper; then you better write this down. Bone Deep ensemble cast now includes Michael Ealy, Steve Harris, Jay Hernandez, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Zoe Saldana and Johnathon Schaech. The crime drama began filming this week.

Keeping writing because the casting also includes Hayden Christensen, Paul Walker, Matt Dillon, Idris Elba, Chris Brown and T.I., this is being directed by John Luessenhop.

The plot centers on bank robbers who, after pulling off a daring heist, are dragged into one last job by a freshly paroled cohort – sounds familiar.
