Echelon Ent Has OCTOBER 30TH Set for April Start Date

Feb 06 - Glendale, CA. After completion of their funding package for a slate of ten films, Echelon Entertainment announced the start date for their first picture, OCTOBER 30TH as soon as April of this year.

Producer/Director team, Palmer/Wade are set to helm the movie. This picture marks the third script produced by Palmer/Runaway Productions in the past year.

It tells the story of three guys on the way back to NYC that hear the infamous Orson Welles radio address of War of the Worlds. Their radio cuts out and they never know it's a fake and as a result, loot a store, pick up another frightened soul and head to a friends hunting cabin. Unfortunately a deadly wreck leaves the three hurt and without supplies. Their fear and paranoia turn them against one another and only near the end do they discover they were being stalked by something far worse than their imaginations.

OCTOBER 30TH writer, Patrick Hludzenski made initial contact with Echelon, then turned over negotiations to Palmer. We're all very excited about how this project has evolved in the past few months, says Palmer. There has been some great collaboration and revelations about the time period that make the picture more authentic and even scarier if that's possible. Gloria Morrison, VP of Acquisitions and Development with Echelon is hoping for a Halloween release of what they all hope becomes a classic fright night hit.
