- LAPTOP BASED THRILLER
Screen Daily has word that Elijah Wood and porn star turned
Hollywood actress Sasha Grey will star in a thriller called Open Windows, which
unfolds on the screen of a laptop computer connected to the Internet.
Nacho Vigolando (Timecrimes) is directing the film which
follows Wood on a desperate search for an actress (grey) who has been abducted
by a vicious man named Chord, played by British actor Neil Maskell.

Wild Bunch is behind the English-language film and executive
Vincent Maraval says, "Open Windows develops in real time, delivering 90
minutes of suspense in a tense, fast-paced, high-tech thriller with action and
terror, updating the key elements of 70s paranoid thrillers through today’s
computer and online environment."
But the director himself had some more interesting words to
say on this project:
“Just as in Brian De Palma’s 'Blow Out,' the girl is
captured. The hero will have to use every means at his disposal to discover
where she is, and rescue her from the villain before its too late. The action
will be followed on the screen of a laptop connected to the Internet – an
approach that has excited us all from the outset. Something like this means
going beyond high concept films like 'Paranormal Activity,' 'Cloverfield' or
'Chronicle.' Instead of simulating a home video camera, we will be representing
a computer desktop. The movie screen becomes a computer screen, and the
spectator becomes the protagonist of this adventure.”
Wood sounds very excited about the prospect saying, “I’ve
wanted to work with Nacho since I first saw Timecrimes and his incredible short
films. We got to know one another at Fantastic Fest in Austin and when he
approached me with this project, truly one of the most unique and exciting
films I’ve ever encountered, I leapt at the chance to be a part of it.”
So it’s basically a webcam horror movie?
