Circle
“In Here…Everything Gets You Killed.”
Los Angeles, California – Votiv Films and
Taggart Productions have released the first official images from their upcoming
psychological thriller Circle. The film, written and
directed by Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione is an intense real-time thriller,
which uniquely examines humanity under the worst possible circumstances.
In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Organized in an inward-facing circle and unable to move, they quickly learn that every two minutes one of them must die... executed by a strange device in the center of the room. At first the attacks seem random, but soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed. A vote. A chance to control the machine. But how can they choose who deserves to die? And what happens when there is only one person left?
The first official images showcase the stark, bold
aesthetic developed by Director of Photography Zoran Popovic and Production
Designer Tom Lisowski. Reminiscent of the austere settings in Vincenzo
Natali’s The Cube (1997), it was designed to
give the strangers no place to hide; forcing them to face each other - and the
deadly machine at its core - through each harrowing round. Intrigued by
the idea of fifty strangers trapped together, Directors Hann and Miscione drew
inspiration from the classic drama 12 Angry Men (1957),
which locked its characters in a single room and focused on the differences and
relationships of 12 jurors tasked with determining a man’s guilt. This, along
with iconic genre influences such as The Twilight Zone (1959),
helped inform Circle’scentral premise. “From
the beginning we wanted to tell a story about people and what they do when
they’re thrown into a terrifying, no-win situation. What do we become when we
have no way out?”
Circle stars: Carter Jenkins,
Julie Benz, Mercy Malick, Allegra Masters, Michael Nardelli, Autumn Federici,
Lawrence Kao, Kevin Sheridan and Cesar Garcia.
A trailer for the film will be released soon. Stay
tuned!
Directors/writers: Aaron
Hann and Mario Miscione.
