In Joel Schumacher’s 1990 cult Flatliners, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts, four Medical students experiment on “near death” experiences that involve past tragedies until the dark consequences begin to jeopardize their lives.
On September 29, 2017, Sony Pictures plays God once again with their own version of Flatliners, this time featuring Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kiersey Clemons.
Directed by Niels Arden Oplev, a new international trailer shows that death is coming for the aforementioned cast. Does it look any better than the initial footage? Nope…
In Flatliners, “Five medical students, hoping to gain insight into the mystery of what lies beyond the confines of life, embark on a daring and dangerous experiment. By stopping their hearts for short periods of time, each triggers a near-death experience. As the investigation becomes more and more perilous, they are forced to confront the sins of their pasts, as well as contend with the paranormal consequences of trespassing to the other side.“
