Expected to be in theaters on August 29, 2014, “As Above So Below” is a psychological thriller starring Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge.
Miles of twisting catacombs lie beneath the streets of Paris, the eternal home to countless souls. When a team of explorers ventures into the uncharted maze of bones, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead.
A journey into madness and terror, Legendary Pictures’ “As Above/So Below” reaches deep into the human psyche to reveal the personal demons that come back to haunt us all.
Scarlett Marlowe (PERDITA WEEKS of The Invisible Woman), a rebellious adventurer and brilliant archaeologist, has devoted her entire life to pursuing history’s greatest hidden treasure: Flamel’s Philosopher’s Stone.
According to legend, this elusive artifact can turn metal into pure gold and grant eternal life—a power beyond imagination. Tormented by the unsettling suicide of her father and rumors of his insanity, Scarlett is driven to the point of obsession: She will never be complete until she finishes his work and restores his legacy.
A series of cryptic puzzles leads her to discover that the all-powerful stone lies beneath the streets of Paris, hidden within the world’s largest crypt: the Catacombs. To document her historic mission, Scarlett recruits her old flame and partner in crime, George (BEN FELDMAN of TV’s Mad Men)—a brilliant archaeologist in his own right who is dedicated restoring historical monuments to their former glory— as well as amateur filmmaker Benji (EDWIN HODGE of The Purge series)—a claustrophobic cameraman unaware of how deep this journey will take him.
The thrill-seeking team has no way of knowing that, as they venture ever-downward, they will be haunted by their personal demons; and as they wander through a nightmarish labyrinth of mindbending terror, they descend deeper and deeper into their own personal hell.
Their only chance of survival lies in the mysterious power of the Philosopher’s Stone, and unlocking the true meaning of the maxim: “As Above/So Below.”
Written by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle (Quarantine, Devil) and directed by John Erick Dowdle, “As Above/So Below” is produced by Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Drew Dowdle and Patrick Aiello. Alex Hedlund serves as the executive producer.
