In the upcoming thriller feature, "All the Lost Ones," the nation plummets into a violent chaos of disarray. Directed by Mackenzie Donaldson, this gripping film is poised to captivate select theaters on April 18th via Epic Pictures, with a subsequent digital platform debut on April 22nd, as exclusively revealed by The Hollywood Reporter. The star-studded ensemble cast boasts Devon Sawa, Douglas Smith, Jasmine Mathews, Sheila McCarthy, Steven Ogg, and Vinessa Antoine.
"All the Lost Ones" is set against a dystopian backdrop of America, where a civil war has shattered the nation into fragments. The narrative revolves around a group of individuals seeking refuge in a cabin, only to find themselves targeted by a ruthless rebel militia leader and his ruthless platoon. In the trailer, which can be viewed below, Mathews, in a moment of desperation, asks, "Is this what you want? To surrender ourselves to the armed maniacs lurking in the woods?"
Later in the footage, Sawa issues a stark warning: "Nobody here is innocent." Donaldson, at the helm of this project, adapted the screenplay penned by Cheryl Meyer and Anthony Grant. The film is produced by Donaldson alongside Yas Taalat, Chantal Kemp, Yipeng Ben Lu, and David J. Phillips.
Donaldson remarks, "With the backdrop of an invasion and war raging on North American soil, 'All the Lost Ones' feels more pressing than ever. Epic Pictures is the ideal partner to convey this intensity to our audience. They excel at delivering bold, thrilling, and thought-provoking cinema, and I eagerly anticipate audiences' reactions to this exhilarating ride."
"All the Lost Ones" premiered last year at the Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival. Patrick Ewald, CEO of Epic Pictures, adds, "Mackenzie Donaldson has masterfully crafted a compelling thriller that resonates both as a timely tale and a timeless classic. The powerful performances from Jasmine Mathews, Douglas Smith, and the chilling portrayal by Devon Sawa create a film that will have viewers on the edge of their seats."
Sawa, renowned for films like "Final Destination" and "Idle Hands," has more recently appeared in series such as "Chucky" and "Hacks," as well as last month's feature "Heart Eyes." Smith's credits include "Big Little Lies" and Kevin Costner's "Horizon: An American Saga" film series. Mathews has recurred in "The Rookie" and featured in films like "The Tomorrow War" and "The Man From Toronto."
