For some people there’s nothing worse than being caught in a small, confined area. Hell, enough time spent in one is enough to rattle just about anybody. However, what if getting stuck was the least of your worries? Strap in, kids! It’s time to learn about another good reason to take the stairs.

Below you’ll find the first details and artwork (designed by Gravillis) for Elevator from director Stig Svendsen and writer Marc Rosenberg.

Christopher Backus, Anita Briem, John Getz, Shirley Knight, Amanda and Rachel Pace, Devin Ratray, Joey Slotnick, George Axelrod, Tehmina Sunny, and Waleed Zuaiter star.

Synopsis
Nine people stuck on an elevator – one has a ticking bomb – the other eight will do absolutely anything to survive. The bomb cannot be defused. There is no escape and no promise of rescue. The unthinkable becomes the only reasonable solution.

In a suspense thriller, both classic and contemporary, the passengers on “Elevator” are squeezed so tightly by fear and panic, the only possible result is horror. With minutes to live, there is no time for civilized morals. Nine sophisticated, Wall Street party-goers reveal the real people behind the facade.

Crafted by the award-winning team of Norwegian director Stig Svendsen and writer-producer Marc Rosenberg, they create a story as chilling as Hitchcock’s “Psycho” and as demented as Polanski’s “The Tenant”. An amazing ensemble cast (Christopher Backus, Anita Briem, John Getz, Shirley Knight, Amanda and Rachel Pace, Devin Ratray, Tehmina Sunny, Joey Slotnick and Waleed Zuaiter) creates a pressure cooker drama you won’t soon forget.
