First-look clip: “ATM”

You may remember as part of the GITS Script Reading & Analysis series, we dug into [pun intended] Buried as an example of the contained thriller sub-genre. You may also remember that the movie’s screenwriter Chris Sparling was kind enough to provide insight into the project with a Q&A. You can read those posts here:

Chris has a new movie coming out ATM which sold as a spec script in February 2010.

Here is a first-look clip from the movie ATM:

The movie’s IMDB site. It’s just now being released in Italy with the title “ATM — — Una Trappola Mortale” which would, I think, be translated: ATM: A Mortal Trap. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

This is another contained thriller and if I remember correctly is going to go the Margin Call route in terms of distribution, starting out being available on VOD before it hits theaters.

Good luck, Chris, with ATM!
