Pre-production has kicked off for The Call Up, and with the American Film Market about to do the same, we have the flick’s early details and artwork for those of you who enjoy a bit of sci-fi flavor with your horror meal.
Written and directed by Charles Barker and produced by Matt Wilkinson and John Giwa-Amu, The Call Up is set to star Matt Deacon, Morfydd Clark, Ali Cook, Parker Sawyers, Tom Benedict Knight, Boris Ler, Douggie McMeekin, and Adriana Randall.
Yeah, none of those names rings a bell with us either, but the film’s ambitious synopsis has us intrigued so read on for that plus the poster and let us know what you think. The anticipated completion date is sometime during 2015.
Synopsis
When a group of elite online gamers each receive a mysterious invitation to trial a state-of-the-art virtual reality video game, it’s a dream come true and impossible to resist. Arriving at the test site, the group members step into hi-tech gear and prepare for a revolutionary, next-level gaming experience that brings modern warfare to life with frightening realism.
At first it’s a unique and exhilarating experience. But what starts out like a dream encounter with cutting-edge technology quickly takes a turn for the sinister. Once they are attacked by enemy combatants, the player soon realizes this is no game after all. Make a mistake here, and you pay with your life. Now these masters of the shoot ‘em up will have to fight for survival within a game gone bad, but this time it’s for real.
