In order to get some Comic Con love out of the film, we’ve been told that New Films International’s Chain Letter will now be arriving in theaters on August 6th. Directed by Deon Taylor, and starring Michael Bailey Smith, Nikki Reed, Noah Segan, Keith David and Betsy Russell, the film tells the tale of a maniac who targets teens when they fail to forward chain mail.
“Six friends receive a mysterious chain letter via text messaging and in their email accounts from a maniac who’s hunting down teenagers who fail to forward his online chain letter. Who knew they should take the threats in the chain letter seriously? Or that chain letters using the teens’ favorite technologies to track them can kill? This maniacal game pits friend against friend as they race to beat rules that seem impossible to escape. Break the chain, lose a life. Do you pass it on? Does friendship mean anything?”
