If you enjoyed John Cusack and Sam Jackson hamming it up in Stephen King's 1408, then the following should interest you! The duo chose to work together again, this time on CELL. The story follows that a strange signal that pulsates through all cell phone networks worldwide, starting a murderous epidemic of epic proportions turning users into bloodthirsty creatures. A group of people in New England are among the survivors to deal with the ensuing chaos after. Is the trailer as ridiculous as the story sounds?!? See for yourself!

Evidently this film wrapped several years ago, so it's not a huge surprise why the release was delayed after watching the trailer. With that said, I don't think every King adaptation needs to be taken seriously, and it's hard to go wrong with Cusack and Jackson. This may not be known as one of the better adaptations down the road, but I think it'll probably be one of the more entertaining!

CELL will hi theaters and VOD on July 8, 2016.
