Micro Budget Outbreak Thriller ‘Breakdown’ Now On Amazon

Thomas Haley makes his feature directorial debut with Breakdown. It also marks the feature film debut for his production company H2 Crew Productions. Breakdown is Haley’s passion project and has been in the works for a few years. Its release is well-timed given the current pandemic and shares similarities with the film’s grim reality. In the film, “a mysterious virus has wiped out much of the world’s population, with the remaining sick being corralled in quarantine zones, as one man fights to find a cure to save humanity, and himself.” Haley also stars in the film described as, “his most intense role released to date,” carrying much of the film’s heavy themes. He is surrounded by a stellar supporting cast including rising scream queen Brooklyn Haley (Paranormal Arracion, Camp Twilight, Slice and Dice), Corey Sorenson (Chicago Fire, Patchwork, Palo Alto), Jessica Cameron (Truth or Dare, Silent Night, All Through The House), and John Marror (Envy, Desert Moon).

An Interview With ‘Shadow In The Cloud’ Director Roseanne Liang

Roseanne Liang is the director and writer of the action-horror Shadow in the Cloud, which I called “a must-see action-packed flick.” in my review. After watching the movie I was excited to speak with Roseanne about the film. In Shadow in the Cloud, set in the throes of World War II, Captain Maude Garrett (Chloë Grace Moretz ) joins the all-male crew of a B-17 bomber with a top-secret package. Caught off guard by the presence of a woman on a military flight, the crew tests Maude’s every move. Just as her quick wit is winning them over, strange happenings and holes in her backstory incite paranoia surrounding her true mission. But this crew has more to fear…lurking in the shadows, something sinister is tearing at the heart of the plane. Trapped between an oncoming air ambush and an evil lurking within, Maude must push beyond her limits to save the hapless crew and protect her mysterious cargo. Nick Robinson,

‘Horizon Line’ Gears Up For Landing

From STX Films and the team behind 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Shallows, comes Horizon Line starring Allison Williams (Get Out), Alexander Dreymon (“The Last Kingdom”) and They Live actor Keith David. “It was supposed to be a routine and casual 99-minute flight to their friend’s tropical island wedding. But within minutes after takeoff, their pilot suffers a fatal heart attack, leaving Sara and Jackson with no idea where they are, no comms, and no clue how to land the plane. With nothing but miles of ocean and sky in every direction, and a terrifying storm that’s about to envelop them, Sara and Jackson have only one shot – and there’s no going back.” The survival thriller was directed by Mikael Marcimain and written by 10 Cloverfield Lane‘s Josh Campbell and Matthew Stuecken. After debuting on VOD and Digital on January 12, 2021, the movie will head to EPIX before landing on Blu-ray and DVD on February 16, 2020.

Soderbergh Working On A Sequel To ‘Contagion’

Back in 2011, Steven Soderbergh unleashed Contagion, a thriller that is as relevant as ever thanks to the current pandemic. With timing in mind, now would be a great time for a sequel. Luckily, we aren’t the only ones who think so. During a recent talk with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Soderbergh revealed that a sequel is indeed on its way. I’ve got a project in development that Scott Burns is working with me on, that’s a kind of philosophical sequel to Contagion, but in a different context,” Soderbergh told the podcast. He added, “You’ll look at the two of them as kind of paired, but they have very different hair colors. So, Scott and I were talking about, ‘So, what’s the next iteration of a Contagion-type story?’ So we have been working on that. We should probably hot-foot it a little bit.” Scott Z. Burns penned the script for Contagion, which starred Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law,
