Since 2007 I’ve been following a little film called CHAIN LETTER, with hopes that I’d finally be able to see it one day (relive that day HERE). In the last three years, we’ve seen the film come close to a wide release, but so far, to no avail. Until now, that is.
According to STYD, the Deon Taylor director horror flick has finally landed a release date… for a limited theatrical release. At least there’s still some hope for it yet!
At this time, it looks like CHAIN LETTER will be hitting limited theaters on May 21, 2010, just in time for the big Memorial Day weekend. Very nice!
Starring Nikki Reed, Noah Segan, Keith David, Brad Dourif, and Betsy Russell, the film goes a little something like this: Six friends receive a mysterious chain letter via text messaging and in their email accounts from a maniac who’s hunting down teenagers who fail to forward his online chain letter. Who knew they should take the threats in the chain letter seriously? Or that chain letters using the teens’ favorite technologies to track them can kill? This maniacal game pits friend against friend as they race to beat rules that seem impossible to escape. Break the chain, lose a life. Do you pass it on? Does friendship mean anything?
Also, I heard if you don’t see CHAIN LETTER in theaters, the same dude will come to your house and kill you. So mark that May 21st date on your calendar, and stick around for more details on the theatrical run.
