Wes Craven - Interview - Wes Craven Talks Red Eye - video stream

***In this internet exclusive, Wes Craven talks about Red Eye and his inspiration behind the film. Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams also give an insight into his work.***

From director Wes Craven (the “Scream” franchise) comes “Red Eye,” a suspense thriller at 30,000 feet.

Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with a fear of flying.

Moments after takeoff, Lisa’s seatmate, Jackson (Cillian Murphy), menacingly reveals the real reason he’s on board: He is an operative in a plot to kill the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security…and Lisa is the key to its success.

If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson. Trapped within the confines of a jet at 30,000 feet, Lisa has nowhere to run and no way to summon help without endangering her father, her fellow passengers and her own life. As the miles tick by, Lisa knows she is running out of time as she desperately looks for a way to thwart her ruthless captor and stop a terrible murder.

“Red Eye” is directed by Wes Craven and produced by Chris Bender and Marianne Maddalena. The executive producers are Bonnie Curtis, Jim Lemley, JC Spink and Mason Novick. The screenplay was written by Carl Ellsworth from a story by Ellsworth and Dan Foos. Rachel McAdams (“The Notebook,” “Mean Girls,” upcoming “The Wedding Crashers”) and Cillian Murphy (“28 Days Later,” “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” upcoming “Batman Begins”) are starring in the film.

RED EYE will be released across the UK & Ireland by United International Pictures on September 2nd.
