Lightstream Pictures today announced the psychological thriller 2:22, which will be directed by Lightstream co-founder Paul Currie (ONE PERFECT DAY) and set to star Armie Hammer, whom fans of THE SOCIAL NETWORK know as the Winklevoss twins. He’s currently shooting J. EDGAR with Clint Eastwood directing.
Based on an idea by Todd Stein and Nathan Parker (MOON),
2:22 is a clever, rollercoaster thriller that centers on Dylan (Hammer) an air traffic controller who is given a jolt when he narrowly escapes being responsible for a mid air collision between two passenger planes. Caused by a mysterious blinding light that happened at 2:22, these strange occurrences continue and lead Dylan to meet Sarah, with whom he feels inexplicably linked. Together the two discover uncanny similarities with their current predicament and a double murder committed a generation ago. With a grim fate looming, Dylan must solve the mystery of 2:22 to preserve a love whose second chance has finally come.
2:22 will begin shooting in Sydney in the fall. It will be repped by Timeless Films at Cannes.
Currie said this: “From the moment I first read the script, I realized that 2:22 was the kind of project that is extremely rare; a film that is highly cinematic, visceral and mysterious, providing audiences a thrill ride from the first to the very last scene.”
I’ll take your word for it, Currie!
