The Gist: Starring Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo, a mysterious, seemingly global blackout yields countless populations to simply vanish, leaving only their clothes and possessions behind. A small handful of survivors band together in a dimly-lit tavern on 7th Street, struggling to combat the apocalyptic horror. Realizing they may in fact be the last people on earth, the darkness hones in on them alone.
Director: Brad Anderson — Sales Agent: Cinetic
Selling Point: A good indication of how this film can perform is by looking at this weekend’s Takers numbers – Christensen and the horror element are the film’s selling points, plus Anderson has a small fan base and has seen all of his films get a release.
Suited For: A distributor looking for a quick opening weekend money grab, making their money back on the DVD release.
