New Clip From Stephen King’s ‘Cell’ Shows the Chaos of an Infestation
A new clip from the upcoming film Cell, which is a Stephen King adaptation of his novel of the same name, shows the effects of an electronic signal that scrambles the minds of all who hear it as it sweeps through an airport. Chaos ensues and violence erupts in the most feral and vicious manner.
“When a powerful signal is broadcast across mobile networks worldwide, cell phone users’ minds are instantly and dangerously re-programmed. Heading north through New England in search of his wife and son, Clay Riddell (Cusack) is joined by a group of survivors hoping to fend off the bloodthirsty and hyper-connected “phoners.””
Directed by Tod “Kip” Williams (Paranormal Activity 2) and starring John Cusack (The Raven), Samuel L. Jackson (1408, Pulp Fiction), Stacy Keach (Sin City: A Dame To Kill For), and Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), Cell was written by King with revisions by Adam Alleca.
The film will hit “Ultra VOD” on June 10th and will then hit theaters and VOD on July 8th.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
