Susan Sarandon Hears The Calling of a Serial Killer

Yes, in some theatres right now a movie called The Call is currently playing, but that’s not stopping the makers of the indie thriller The Calling from using a similar title.

In The Calling, which we expect to be renamed The Hive shortly, Susan Sarandon will play a small-town Canadian detective who tracks down a serial killer targeting the terminally ill to use as disciples in his own planned resurrection. Topher Grace will also star as an ambitious police officer recently transferred from Toronto who becomes the detective’s right-hand man.

The Calling was written by Scott Abramovitch and will be directed by Jason Stone, with production getting under way this week. Christine Vachon, Killer Films, and Randy Manis are producing.
