The sci-fi film Time Lapse starring The Flash‘s Danielle Panabaker will open in theaters on May 15, 2015 after being picked up for North American distribution by XLrator Media. Bradley King co-wrote the script with BP Cooper and made his feature film directorial debut with the sci-fi thriller. The cast also includes Matt O’Leary and George Finn.
“A smart sci-fi thriller with a mind-bending premise, Time Lapse combines the ingenious structure of Memento with the dark comic irony of The Twilight Zone,” said XLrator Media CEO Barry Gordon. “It epitomizes the exciting new wave of ‘lo-fi sci-fi’ films reported in the Wall Street Journal that rely on original, clever stories and masterful filmmaking rather than hundred-million-dollar visual effects budgets.”
“After a thrilling festival run around the globe, we are beyond excited to put the North American release of Time Lapse into the capable and creative hands of such a forward-thinking distributor as XLrator Media,” stated filmmakers Bradley King and BP Cooper in a joint statement.
The Plot:
Time Lapse explores the possibilities of time travel through a machine that is capable of taking pictures 24 hours into the future. When three friends discover this mysterious machine in their neighbor’s apartment, they encounter a number of pressing questions, not least of which is the whereabouts of their neighbor. Realizing the potential impact of the machine, Finn (O’Leary), Jasper (Finn), and Callie (Panabaker) attempt to cash in on their discovery. But, when a dangerous criminal learns their secret, the friends must set aside their differences and confront the paradox of a future that was once predetermined and entirely uncertain. Using an engaging blend of action, humor, and philosophy, Time Lapse is an original thriller that not only keeps the audience guessing, but also explores questions of pre-determination, free will and destiny.
