"'ALONE IN THE DARK' is a perfect addition to our slate of horror/sci-fi genre films on the pulse of popular culture," said Tom Ortenberg, President of Lions Gate Films Releasing. "Uwe Boll has taken a game with a voracious following and turned it into a film which completely stands on its own," he added.
The deal was negotiated for Lions Gate by Peter Block, Lions Gate Films President of Acquisitions, Television and Co-Productions, Jason Constantine, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions, Wendy Jaffe, Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs and Ortenberg with Peter Safran, President of Brillstein-Grey, Uwe Boll and Karyn Edwards & Shawn Williamson of Bright Light Pictures on behalf of the filmmaker.
"I'm really happy that Lions Gate is releasing 'ALONE IN THE DARK.' The game has millions of fans worldwide and our movie turns out as very intelligent supernatural thriller with great actors and creatures," stated director and producer Boll.
In "ALONE IN THE DARK," Edward Carnby (Christian Slater), detective of the paranormal, unexplained and supernatural, investigates the recent, mysterious death of a friend with clues leading to "Shadow Island," that brings him face to face with bizarre horrors that prove both psychologically disturbing and lethal, as he discovers that evil demons worshiped by an ancient culture called the Abskani are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world.
