Toronto -- Stephen Chambers ("Casino Jack"), David Patrick Flemming and James Gilbert have entered "The Corridor," the Canadian indie horror thriller from Chronicle Pictures.
The film, written by Josh MacDonald, portrays best buddies on a male-bonding weekend who take a corridor into the forest that leads to death and destruction.
Evan Kelly ("Dawson's Creek") will direct and perform in the picture, which has key investment from Telefilm Canada as the federal film financier looks to back more homegrown genre pictures with boxoffice potential.
"The Corridor" is currently shooting in and around Halifax through March.
The ensemble cast includes Matthew Amyotte, Glen Matthews, Mary-Colin Chisholm and Nigel Bennett ("The Border").
Mike Masters and Craig Cameron are producing "The Corridor," which is set for a September 2010 release.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -- Canadian film and TV production may be on the wane as U.S. producers increasingly go further afield than Toronto or Vancouver to shoot their runaway projects -- but generous tax credits introduced by the Atlantic provinces over the past decade have created a hot spot for regional filmmaking in Nova Scotia. "We're on an upward trajectory", Halifax-based Evan Kelly said here as he screened his latest film, Former Glories, this week at the Atlantic Film Festival. "It's stronger here than its been in a while." Nova Scotia's film and TV production sector has been on a roll since U.S. producers first started shooting here in the mid-1990s and the provincial government introduced generous tax credits and other financial incentives to keep them coming here. Toronto-raised Ivan Reitman, who last week said he will produce a feature comedy in Halifax next year that stars Canadian cult TV sensations the Trailer Park Boys, is only the latest Hollywood producer to set up here.
