The project is scheduled to go into pre-production Fall 2010 with Galant directing and producing. The original screenplay by Galant tells the story of Ethan who finds himself in the most terrifying penal complex for a crime that he has no memory of committing. Through a state-of-the-art virtual reality system he is forced to relive his supposed crime every day. Ethan suspects the sadistic Warden is hiding something. To learn the truth Ethan must attempt what has never been accomplished - escape from the most inescapable prison before he goes mad.
Clear Group Multimedia stated, “The minute I started reading the script, I couldn’t put it down. It was so clever, original and suspenseful. Clear Group Multimedia is pleased to be working with Alexander Galant on this project and hopes this is the first of many projects we work on together.”
“Same Crime Tomorrow” is planned to be filmed in Toronto, Canada where Galant is based. Films directed by Alexander Galant (AlexanderGalant.com) include, The Missing Piece currently on the festival circuit and recent "Silver Remi Award" winner for 'Suspense Thriller' - WorldFest Houston Film Festival; Moonlight Desire (a Dracula video) for which Mickey Rooney lent his voice as the character of Prof. Van Helsing; The Jigsaw Puzzle, which has been screened at film festivals in New York, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Salem and Milan, receiving the "Special Festival BUZZ Award" (most talked about film) from the New York International Independent Film Festival. His more "artsy" vampire film, First Light, has been screened in festivals all over the world, winning several awards including: the "Bronze Remi Award" from WorldFest Houston Film Festival, "Special Commendation" in the Festival of Fantastic Films (UK), "Best Music/Soundtrack" in the Toronto Online Film Festival, and Nominations for "Best Director" and "Best Technical Achievement" from the International Festival of Cinema and Technology (World Tour Film Festival). His short Star Wars spoof entitled Blasted Behavior was selected by George Lucas as one of the finalists in AtomFilms' 2009 Star Wars Fan Film Competition. Galant also has several theatre credits as director under his belt and has worked in almost every technical position in theatre. He received the Adjudicator's Award for Innovation, for Incorporating Animation, Computer-Generated Effects and Film Sequences with live actors in The Wizard of Oz and received a similar Thea Award for Singin' in the Rain for which he made it rain across the stage.
