Lovecraftian Horror ‘Altitude’ Begins Casting!
Finally things are prepping for take off as casting is underway for Altitude, which we exclusively brought you this crazy promo for last year. Jessica Lowndes (The Haunting of Molly Hartley, Autopsy) has risen to the lead in the feature directorial debut for Marvel Comics artist Kaare Andrews (“Hulk,” “Wolverine”). The Canadian indie thriller from Escape Factory and Foundation Features will feature Lowndes (pictured inside) as a rookie airplane pilot whose weekend getaway flight with friends faces a series of unexplained malfunctions. The script was penned by Paul Birkett. Production will take place in and around Vancouver in April.
Lost in a mysterious cloudbank, a rookie pilot and her four teenage friends must contend with a freak mechanical failure that first sends their small plane climbing to an impossible height, and then plummeting through endless mist.
After regaining control, the survivors are confronted with a horrifying realization – the very ground beneath them has vanished and a malevolent force lurking in the clouds wants them dead.
