Relativity Media is releasing Warren Skeels’ true crime serial killer thriller The Man in the White Van for a wide theatrical release on Friday, December 13 from Garrison Film and the fan-owned entertainment company Legion M. The brand new trailer has arrived, giving an ominous look at the creepy thriller.
Watch the trailer below that introduces a family unaware that they’re about to be in for a harrowing nightmare based on a true story.
Based on a series of true crimes that shook the nation in the 1970s, the film is “based on true events. In 1975 Florida, a series of violent disappearances go unnoticed, and young Annie (Madison Wolfe) is targeted by an ominous white van that stalks her every move. As the menace escalates, her parents dismiss her fears, and Annie is soon plunged into a terrifying nightmare that shatters her world. ”
Starring Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Stranger Things), Ali Larter (ABC’s The Rookie, Final Destination), Madison Wolfe (The Conjuring 2), Brec Bassinger (CW’s Stargirl), Gavin Warren (Night Swim) and Skai Jackson (Jessie), The Man in the White Van delves into the harrowing experiences of Annie Williams (Wolfe), a spirited family girl, whose carefree existence is turned upside down as she finds herself stalked by an ominous man in a white van.
“I’m thrilled to partner with Relativity Media to bring this important story to the screen,” said writer/director Warren Skeels previously. “I love this cast and crew. Together, we have taken great care to ensure that this narrative is told with respect for those who experienced these horrific events firsthand. Our aim is to shine a light on a dark time in the 1970s and the extraordinary story of one girl’s unimaginable ordeal with a serial killer.”
The Man in the White Van, originally scheduled for October, shifts into an appropriate new Friday the 13th release date this December.
