Posted by Matt Holmes

Thieriot who auditioned for the role of The Flash in last year’s ill-fated JLA project will lead as William Cooley, a rebellious student at a high class boarding school charging a $500,000 fee in 2036 because it literally produces world leaders with the help of drugs. Three days before graduation and several of its alumni are murdered and William becomes a top suspect.

The actor has appeared in Nancy Drew, Jumper and is the lead in Wes Craven’s new horror 25/8.

Russell’s credits include such wide and varied efforts as A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, The Blob, The Mask, Eraser, Bless the Child and The Scorpion King.

The film will shoot in Valencia at the Ciudad de la Luz Studios in Alicante, Spain from October 6th.
