Known for their creative mix of films across all genres - drama, comedy, action extravaganza, sci-fi and the Indies, Fox Star Studios is bringing to movie lovers, a most unique film this February!
Apt for today’s digital generation, CHRONICLE is a tale of three teens who find a power beyond their imagination, and the struggle they face in learning to control it. Three high school friends gain superpowers of telekinesis, flight, and invulnerability after making an incredible discovery in a mysterious crater. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.
Based on an original story by debut director Josh Trank, the film has been shot in the “found-footage” style made popular in films like THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, etc and is garnering a lot of interest amongst movie circles already.
In the era of YouTube, and instant uploads, young people are increasingly sharing their experiences with one another through the internet. The film captures this very essence of the young audience through the story and film making.
Speaking on making a film which the youth can relate to, Director Josh Trank says, “I started shooting these little videos; I just wanted to make things that took place in real life—something that starts out very normal and grounded in reality, and then something bizarre and spectacular happens that feels like it could transpire right in front of you. And I suddenly realized that there was a movie in that.”
Starring newbies Michael B Jordan, Dane Dehaan and Alex Russell, the film’s story charts the life of a teenager who picks up a camera to document his life, and it’s through his lens the audiences witness his and his friends’ transformation when they stumble upon mysterious powers. He keeps the camera rolling as they test out their new found abilities, in sync with today’s digitally focused youth!
Says lead actor Dane DeHaan, “I think a lot of scenes in this movie could become viral hits if they were just two minutes on YouTube. But they've taken all these moments and made a very thorough narrative out of them.”
Well, India’s youngsters have a film tailor made for them this February! Catch Fox Star Studios’ CHRONICLE as it releases February 3rd 2012.
