Based on the 2006 novel by Dave Kalstein, who also penned the script, Prodigy revolves around an elite prep school that promises to produce national leaders through educational and medical enhancements. Three days before they’re set to graduate, however, several student bodies are found murdered, and it's up to Cooley, the school rebel, and Goldsmith, the valedictorian, to push their differences aside and find out who's behind the murders. What they discover is a deep-seated conspiracy that goes way beyond the walls of the school. Jumper star Max Thieriot is already on board as the rebellious Cooley (he’ll next be seen in Wes Craven’s 25/8), and Panabaker will be stepping into the role of a brilliant senator’s daughter who starts questioning the powers that be. Yeah, murder will do that. Shooting on Prodigy is expected to start up in Spain the middle of October; keep it here for updates! - Johnny Butane CHECK OUT DREAD CENTRAL’S NEW POSTER STORE! Got news?

Jamison's Serial Teaser Before Butane wakes up to do his morning constitutional, I'd like to bring your attention to something an independent filmmaker by the name of Kevin Jamison showed me today. You see, Kevin is trying to get funding together to turn one of his scripts, Serial, into a full-fledged film. So, he's created the promo video below to let people know just how serious he is about seeing his ideas come to life. Let us know what you think in our comments section.
