Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive trailer debut for Franck Khalfoun’s techno-thriller i-LIVED, which stars Jeremiah Watkins!
XLrator Media will be releasing i-LIVED in limited theaters on July 3rd and on VOD on July 7th.
“Josh Fosse is a 20-something guy whose life is going nowhere. His girl left, his rent is late, and he lacks a real job. He is trying to make it as an app reviewer online and decides to review a self help app called i-Lived for fun. He’s signs on and immediately his life turns around. He meets the girl of his dreams and he gets a job offer he can’t refuse. Convinced it’s him and not the app, he signs out… and loses everything. He signs on again but this time the terms are different, the app is asking him to do things that are out of his moral comfort zone… but essential to becoming the success the app tells him he can be.“
Khalfoun directed the incredible remake of Maniac, starring Elijah Wood, as well as the forthcoming Amityville sequel for Dimension Films. He also helmed P2 for director-turned-producer Alex Aja.
“I wanted to find a concept where I could tell a story using all of the technology available on a smart phone and immerse the user into a story in an innovative way,” Khalfoun told us last year. “I thought if I could center the plot around an app, use the camera on the phone to shoot parts of it, and connect the audience through the phone while they are watching the movie then the device would become a tool for storytelling rather than an annoying distraction.”
