In addition to a new Canadian one-sheet, a Japanese news outlet has several minutes from Cell, an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name. While the first minute or so features yesterday’s clip that shows the effects of an electronic signal that scrambles the minds of all who hear it as it sweeps through an airport, the rest of the video carries a ton of chaotic footage (unfortunately there’s a Japanese narrator speaking over a lot of it).
“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.
