Ready for the remake of Flatliners? The casting of Kiefer Sutherland enough to draw you in? Well get out your calendars, kids, because the flick has a release date of August 18, 2017.
Flatliners is being directed by Niels Arden Oplev (Sweden’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, TV’s “Mr. Robot”) from a script by Ben Ripley (Source Code). The movie is being produced by Laurence Mark and Michael Douglas (who also produced the original movie). Sutherland has committed to portraying a “seasoned doctor” in the new version, which stars Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, and Kiersey Clemens.
The original thriller, which co-starred Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, Billy Baldwin, and Oliver Platt, followed five medical students who decide to trigger near-death experiences by purposely stopping their hearts. However, as they delve into their work, the experiments become more and more dangerous and scary as they are forced to confront the sins of their pasts as well as contend with the paranormal consequences of crossing a line to the other side.
