Columbia Movie Release
The
high stakes thriller "Paranoia" takes audiences deep behind the
scenes of global success to a deadly world of greed and deception. Hitting
Philippines cinemas this October, “Paranoia” stars Liam Hemsworth (“The Hunger
Games”), Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Amber Heard (“Zombieland”), Josh Holloway
(TV's “Lost”) and Julian McMahon (“Fantastic Four”).

In
the film, the two most powerful tech billionaires in the world (Ford and
Oldman) are bitter rivals with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to
destroy each other. A young superstar (Hemsworth), seduced by unlimited wealth
and power falls between them, and becomes trapped in the middle of the twists
and turns of their life-and-death game of corporate espionage. By the time he
realizes his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows far too much
for them to let him walk away.
"I'm
a pawn in a master plan. And as it starts to get deeper and more dangerous,
it's clear this fancy life is not what I thought," says Hemsworth.
Ford
says he buzzed his hair "to the shortest possible" length to play his
high-flying character. "The look was something I had not had before. And I
thought it added strong character value."
Director
Robert Luketic says word of the iconic actor's short 'do "made a lot of
people nervous" before he showed it on the set. "Are you
kidding?" says Luketic. "But I had complete faith in him. I am all
for it when an actor wants to embrace the character. And he pulled it off. He
looks really good in the movie and he brought his acting A-game."
Ford
relished the opportunity to re-tangle with Oldman; the duo memorably collided
in 1997's “Air Force One.”
"There
is a real contest of wills between the two of us here," says Ford of
“Paranoia,” adding that the film's title is appropriate for the high-stakes
business empire. "It's a world that is well served by being even more
paranoid than the characters actually are."
Opening
across the Philippines on October 2,
“Paranoia” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International
through Columbia Pictures.
