Production Weekly reports that the serial-killer film starring Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson WISDOM AND HINDSIGHT is now titled POKER NIGHT, and is currently in preproduction with Forest Park Pictures and Icon Entertainment. Penned by first-time feature scribe Greg Francis (who has directed for a number of true-crime TV series), the “psychological thriller centers on a rookie detective [Christensen] who wakes to find himself strapped to a chair in a dim and filthy basement. The cop’s faceless abductor is a vicious serial killer who is mercilessly torturing his captive both physically and mentally.” Produced by Hayden’s brother Tove (SHATTERED GLASS) Christensen along with Francis, Marina Grasic and John J. Kelly, POKER NIGHT is the directorial debut of stunt coordinator Nick Gillard, who previously worked with Christensen on STAR WARS: EPISODE III. POKER NIGHT is scheduled to go before the cameras this summer.
