Chris Gorak will direct the sci-fi-thriller Attach which is based on his original script and will star Alex Russell (Chronicle), Bloody Disgusting just learned ahead of EFM in Berlin.
In the film, star athlete Daniel Townsend (Russell) undergoes an experimental surgery that permanently attaches a cutting-edge bionic arm and leg to his body after he loses his own in a car accident. But when he realizes the advanced intelligent prosthetics may have a destructive mind of their own, Daniel’s rehabilitation quickly transforms into a desperate fight to save himself and everyone around him.
Adam Schroeder (Chronicle, Sleepy Hollow, The Truman Show) will produce under his Adam Schroeder Entertainment banner alongside Rob Paris (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in The House) of Paris Film, Inc. Highland Film Group will handle international sales, and introduce to buyers next month in Berlin.
Director Chris Gorak said: “’Attach’ is unique and timely, it combines all of the gripping elements of a classic sci-fi thriller and the exciting technological breakthroughs of today. Alex Russell is such a fresh talent, working with him will be an exceptional experience. I look forward to the collaboration and bringing the character of Daniel Townsend to life.”
Gorak made his directorial debut on the 2006 Sundance Film Festival hit, Right at Your Door, which was released by Lionsgate. In 2010 he went on to direct the Regency and Summit filmThe Darkest Hour starring Emile Hirsch, Max Minghella and Joel Kinnaman.
