Kiefer Sutherland has joined the cast of the Flatliners remake over at Sony. The film is a redo of the 1990 original in which Sutherland actually appeared.
Deadline reports that Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kersey Clemens star in Flatliners, a film which sees ‘five medical students decide to trigger near-death experiences by purposely stopping their hearts. However, as they delve more into their work, the experiments become more and more dangerous and even scary as they are forced to confront the sins of their pasts as well as contend with the paranormal consequences of crossing a line to the other side.’
Niels Arden Oplev is directing, hot of his success with the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movie and the TV series Mr. Robot. Source Code screenwriter Ben Ripley wrote the script for the new version while Laurence Mark and Michael Douglas produce.
Production kicked off in Toronto earlier this week.
