CRACKLE GREENLIGHTS BRIAN KAVANAUGH-JONES AND TIM KRING TECHNO-THRILLER MOVIE, "IN THE CLOUD"

New York, April 19, 2017 -- On the heels of its movie success this past year with the Charlie Sheen-starrer "Mad Families" and "Dead Rising: Endgame," starring Jesse Metcalfe (and based on the popular video game franchise), Crackle announced today that it will begin production on the Tim Kring (Heroes) and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Insidious: Chapter Three) feature, "In the Cloud."

This thriller from Kring's Imperative Entertainment and Kavanaugh-Jones' Automatik, explores a tech company shrouded in secrecy as it develops software capable of uploading a person's consciousness and memories to a virtual space regardless of location, time, and state of life - essentially, in the cloud. This allows them to interact with a realistic AI avatar of that individual, even if they are no longer alive. As Cloud Inc.'s public launch date looms, we discover many people with questionable interests in the company and its technology - all of whom have secret agendas - many of which threaten to end the company and the lives of all involved - never mind changing the course of humanity. Production begins in late summer 2017 and casting news will be announced in the coming weeks.

The techno-thriller is written by Vanya Asher and produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones' Automatik and Tim Kring's Imperative Entertainment.
