Josh Hutcherson and Morgan Freeman learn how to travel through time in the first trailer for 57 Seconds. The upcoming science fiction adventure from Highland Film Group is directed by Rusty Cundieff (Tales from the Hood), and is coming to theaters and in September.
Time travel has always been an interesting subject for movies and tv shows to explore, and it’s been present in mainstream and independent projects since always. But the most interesting thing about Cundieff’s new film is that the time travel experience is limited to 57 seconds, so how much can actually be changed in that little time? A lot, apparently.
Hutcherson and Freeman will be joined by Lovie Simone, Greg Germann, Sammi Rotibi, Lucius Baston, and Aaron Jay Rome in this action-packed adventure. Here’s the official synopsis and trailer:
“Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) and Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby) star in this heart-racing action thriller. When a tech blogger discovers a time-altering device, he unleashes its power to rewrite the past and seek revenge against the ruthless corporate empire that destroyed his family. But his actions soon trigger a terrifying chain of events, propelling him into a pulse-pounding battle for survival where every second counts.”
57 Seconds was co-written by Cundieff himself and Macon Blair, who plays J. Robert Oppenheimer’s lawyer in the Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Blair has a long successful career as an actor, writer, director and producer, and has worked in other memorable titles such as Reservation Dogs, The Florida Project and Room 104.
