Calgary – The psychological thriller Straight Edge has ended five weeks of shooting in Fiji and relocated to Calgary, just in time for winter. The $15-million feature by Nomadic Pictures (The Mermaid Chair) and CD Films (Lies My Mother Told Me) of Montreal stars Mila Kunis (That ’70s Show), Gregory Smith (Everwood) and Peter Stormare (Fargo) – recounting the somewhat true story of troubled teens sent to a hellish rehab clinic in the tropics.
Christian Duguay (Hitler: The Rise of Evil) directs and coproduces, working with Chad Oakes, Mike Frislev (Lies My Mother Told Me) and execs Craig Baumgarten (Jade) and Robert Geringer (Alpha Dog).
The picture is due in theaters next year through Remstar Distribution, and later on Movie Central and The Movie Network. Shooting wraps mid-December.
