U.K.-based Capitol Films has boarded English-language indie thriller Blackout, developed by Italian producer Valerio Morabito. Mexican helmer Rigoberto Castaneda (“Km 31”) is set to direct, according to Variety. The film stars Amber Tamblyn, Irish thesp Aidan Gillen and Armie Hammer. “Blackout,” a first script by Ed Dougherty, traps the three characters in a mirrored hospital elevator for 24 hours during a power outage. Each of the three has a reason to urgently escape, especially after one turns out to be a murderous psychopath. Script follows a structure similar to that of “Lost,” ping-ponging between flashbacks and the elevator.
