‘Chained’ To Be Unveiled At TIFF
It’s just been announced that Myriad Pictures has just picked up Chained and will be handling the pic’s international sales at the Toronto International Film Festival next week. Anchor Bay has the U.S. rights and is planning an early 2012 release.
Chained was directed by Jennifer Lynch (Surveillance, Boxing Helena) and stars Vincent D’Onofrio (“Law And Order: Criminal Intent”, Full Metal Jacket), Julia Ormond (Man Of Steel, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button) and Eamon Farron (Blessed, “The Pacific”).
The pic is “the story of a serial killer ( D’Onofrio) who kidnaps a 9-year-old boy. Now a teenager, the boy learns the only way to survive is by following in the killer’s footsteps. He must make his move to escape before he becomes like the monster that now considers himself his father.”

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
