Breck
Eisner Executive Produces A Sound of Thunder
Coming: A new sci-fi action adventure by I-Man
movie supporter Breck EisnerBased on a
short story by Ray Bradbury, A Sound of Thunder
is set in the future, when time travel is not only
possible – it's a lucrative monopoly. It's especially
profitable for Charles Hatton (Ben Kingsley), the owner
of Time Safari, Inc., a travel agency that specializes
in escorting wealthy clients on exclusive hunting trips
back to the Prehistoric Age. Under the leadership of
seasoned scout Dr. Travis Ryer (Edward Burns),
participants are permitted to hunt and kill dinosaurs
provided they follow a set of strenuous rules. These
guidelines are intended to protect the creatures'
natural habitats and prevent time travelers from
impacting the course of evolution. When an expedition is
compromised and the rules are broken, the hunters return
to the future...and discover the world is a markedly
different place than it was when they left. As "time
waves" ripple from the Prehistoric past through the
present to the uncharted future, Ryer teams up with
Sonia Rand (Catherine McCormack), the inventor of the
time travel technology, to unravel the mystery behind
the catastrophic historical changes that are threatening
to erase humanity from existence.
This movie
has been completed, but no release date is available at

The San Francisco Independent Film Festival
Lonely and in poor health, trainer Marty
Goldberg (Eddie Jones) has been stuck working on the fringes of the
professional circuit far too long. Searching for a way out, he discovers
Tommy Riley (played by the film's screenwriter J.P. Davis) , a young man
with a troubled past, but raw talent to burn when the gloves are on.
Outside the ring however, Tommy displays a self-destructive streak that
could end his career before it begins. As the two men begin to work
together, they find it’s not just Tommy’s volatile tendencies that
threaten their relationship, but also the secret that Marty has spent a
lifetime concealing.
The festival runs from February 3 - 15,
2005.
Showings:
-
Saturday, February 5,
2005, at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $9.95 for this showing.
