Neve Campbell Cast in Dystopian Thriller DIVISION 19
Outside of the Scream franchise, Neve Campbell hasn't really done anything notable. (Not that I know of anyway.) But she has been cast in a new dystopian sci-fi thriller called Division 19. The movie was started as a Kickstarter last month, and is far from reaching its goal, but it looks like they found funding from an outside source and started production in Detroit this week. The movie also stars Jamie Draven (Billy Elliot) and Clarke Peters (The Wire). Here's the official description of the story, and below it you'll find the Kickstater video:
Division 19 is set in a future where the burgeoning need for social control has led to mass-criminalization. With jails overflowing, the Central Control have brought in a data-warehousing specialist who has turned the jails into online portals allowing citizens to monitor felons and vote on what they eat, wear, read, watch and when they fight. By far the most popular and downloaded felon is Hardin Jones - used 24/7 to sell everything from jeans to beans.
When Jones escapes, he wants just one thing: His anonymity. But a group of crypto-anarchists who have taken on the State need his influence to help their cause. Hardin isn't interested. He just wants off the radar. Until he finds out the architect of the prison complex is planning on rolling out Panopticon TV out to a whole new town. And the first resident of this new experiment town, will be Hardin's brother Nash.
This is actually a really interesting concept, and I'm curious to see how it plays out. Do you think the movie will turn out to be a good one?
