Talk about the stars aligning…

Just as our chief-gangsta The Arrow let y’all know how Brad Anderson’s VANISHING ON 7TH STREET mixed in his flask…news comes of who will distribute the bastard. Word is Magnet Releasing, fresh off acquiring Norwegian mockumentary THE TROLL HUNTER, has done the same for Anderson’s film, which stars Thandie Newton (below) and Hayden Christiansen. Too bad Arrow didn’t bestow the film with SESSION 9 or THE MACHINIST plaudits.

Written by Anthony Jaswinski, VANISHING ON 7TH STREET:

Starts with a power outage. Where once stood living beings are now piles of discarded clothes. The once sunny city is shrouded in blackness. Shadows creep across every surface and whispers echo in the empty streets. Is it some form of enemy attack or a swift judgment from the divine? Each passing day contains fewer daylight hours, and only those who cling to some other form of light can escape the encroaching darkness.

A small group of survivors congregate in an old bar powered by a gas generator. Luke (Hayden Christensen) is a slick TV anchor forced to live by his wits. Paul (John Leguizamo) is a lonely projectionist working in a multiplex theatre. Rosemary (Thandie Newton) is a distraught mother whose baby is missing, and James (Jacob Latimore) is a shotgun-toting kid waiting for his mother to return. With their light sources slowly dying, they must find alternative illumination and a way out of the city. Overcome with paranoia and fear, the group struggles to understand the events that have brought them together.

John Leguizamo, Taylor Groothuis, Jordan Trovillion, Jacob Latimore, Benjamin Brennan, Pamela Croydon and P.J. Edwards also take part in the picture.

Now all we need’s an official release date!
