No, not STRETCH as in Stretch Armstrong – this will be far scarier. Ed Helms, star of THE HANGOVER franchise, is currently in talks to join new thriller directed by Joe Carnahan (THE GREY) and produced by Jason Blum (THE PURGE).
Patrick Wilson (INSIDIOUS) has already signed onto the film, playing a lucked-out limo driver (nicknamed Stretch) trying to clean up his act and repay heavy debts. Everything’s running smoothly until he receives the customer from hell (played by Chris Pine – STAR TREK)… If Helms joins the cast he’ll play a fellow driver, friend of Stretch and ‘conscience’ for our protagonist.
THE PURGE surprised box office analysts over the weekend, as it’s been a surprise hit. Could this do the same? Possibly.

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
