There will likely be debate regarding whether or not ghosts exist until the end of time. If only there was a way to scientifically prove their existence. Enter Spectrum.
According to Deadline, Maple Leaf Films’ Tove Christensen and Michael Wexler agreed at Cannes to finance and produce Spectrum, a science fiction thriller that John Swetnam will direct. It’s based on his idea and was scripted by Lex Edness. 13 Films’ Tannaz Anisi is handling international rights, and Swetnam’s Paradigm reps will broker the domestic deal. Casting on Spectrum is under way for a fall shoot.
“Everyone from the Greeks to the Aztecs to Thomas Edison tried to glimpse into the next world,” Swetnam said. “Our film will explore this age-old curiosity but with a unique sci-fi lens: What if all those stories we heard as kids were true and we actually had the technology to prove that there’s something else out there? Spectrum will show us that some things are better left unknown.”
Swetnam wrote Into The Storm for Warner Bros. and Step Up All In; he wrote, produced, and directed Breaking Through; and he is producing Realm at Relativity based on the short he wrote and produced.
Synopsis:
After inventing a technology that not only proves the existence of ghosts but can actually see them, a renowned scientist does a final experiment on a human test subject that goes horribly wrong. Decades later, when his son and a group of colleagues discover the secret high-tech laboratory where the experiment took place, they find themselves battling a vengeful force.
