White Noise: The Light - News

Rumors Unfounded

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

There are rumors flying about that White Noise: The Light is set to go direct to DVD however as of the time of this message, this is JUST A RUMOR.

No decision has been made about the project going direct to DVD and bypassing US cinemas and the decision at this point in time can still go either way.

It is possible that with Nathan Fillion currently being somewhat high-profile with promotion of the new Drive TV series set to premiere on Fox on April 15 with a movie length episode (regular time starting from April 16th preceding 24) and the overwhelming success of the movie Waitress that White Noise: The Light will yet see the “light” in cinemas across the US and other places around the globe.

White Noise: The Light

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006
White Noise: The Light Movie White Noise: The Light takes the Electronic Voice Phenomenon introduced in the the original movie “White Noise”, to the next level by looking at Near Death Experience. Abraham Dale (Nathan Fillion - Firefly / Serenity / Slither) discovers that once you have seen the “light”, there is no turning back.Abe Dale, suffers the sudden and tragic loss of his wife and child and when he is brought back from the brink of death himself, he is haunted by a light that emanates from strangers and loved ones and discovers that he can “see” their impending deaths. Abe tries to save people from their fate but soon learns that interfering with the natral order of life and death has concequences he isn’t prepared for.

After rescuing a nurse named Sherry ( Katee Sackhoff Battlestar Galactica) from a mugger, Abe and Sherry become soul mates. Having experienced the loss of her own family, Sherry helps Abe through the grieving process.

While the thriller White Noise: The Light is a sequel to the movie “White Noise” those who haven’t seen White Noise won’t have any trouble following the plot as White Noise: The Light essentially stands alone.

Nathan Fillion: “The first movie was a guy trying to receive messages from de-tuned radios and things. Anything de-tuned giving that static. This movie I have had a near death experience, and I am the receiver. I can see things in the white noise, I can see it but no one else can. All the radios and TVs are happening, but I’m the only one that sees it so I’m CRAZY. It adds for tension.”

Katee Sackhoff: “…this is so realistic that it is more terrifying . . . A different kind of scary on the seat of your pants.

Genre: Supernatural Thriller

MPAA Rating: PG-13

Director: Patrick Lussier

Executive Producers: Paul Brooks, Scott Niemeyer, Stephen Hegyes

Producer: Shawn Williamson

Writer: Matt Venne

WHITE NOISE: THE LIGHT has also been referred to as White Noise 2 and Nathan Fillion has jokingly suggested the names, White Noisier, Whiter Noise and Still White After All These Years during interviews about the movie.
