Stacy Keach Rings Up a Part in Cell; See the First Pictures from the Atlanta Set The cast of Benaroya Pictures’ now filming adaptation of Stephen King’s Cell just gets better and better. Joining the recently announced Isabelle Fuhrman is Stacy Keach. As a bonus, here are some photos from the set.

Paranormal Activity 2‘s Tod “Kip” Williams is directing; John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson star in the film, which recently began shooting in Atlanta. Producers are Richard Saperstein, Michael Benaroya, Brian Witten, and Shara Kay. The screenplay was written by Stephen King with revisions by Adam Alleca.

Fuhrman plays a teenage neighbor of Cusack’s character who joins him and Jackson on their journey to safety after a mysterious pulse spreads like a virus through the human population. Keach will play the headmaster of a prep school where the survivors stop along their way.

Synopsis
When a powerful signal is broadcast across mobile networks worldwide, cell phone users’ minds are instantly and dangerously re-programmed. Heading north through New England in search of his wife and son, Clay Riddell (Cusack) is joined by a group of survivors hoping to fend off the bloodthirsty and hyper-connected “phoners.”
