Capitol Films will produce indie thriller "Blackout" which Mexican helmer Rigoberto Castaneda ("Km 31") is set to direct reports Variety.
Penned by Ed Dougherty, the story traps the three characters in a mirrored hospital elevator for 24 hours during a power outage.
Each of the three has a reason to urgently escape, especially after one turns out to be a murderous psychopath.
Script follows a structure similar to that of "Lost," ping-ponging between flashbacks and the elevator. Amber Tamblyn, Aidan Gillen and Armie Hammer star.
Shooting begins Monday in Barcelona, although the film is set in an unidentified U.S. city by the sea. Producers are still in talks with distributors.
