It’s perfect casting for a film about a man whose words get someone very, very angry.

Saban Films has announced that it has picked up U.S. rights to ON THE LINE, which is currently in postproduction under writer/director/producer Romuald Boulanger, following up his 2020 French Internet thriller CONNECTÉS. According to the PR, Mel Gibson stars as “a radio host confronted with a hostile caller over the course of a single night.” The cast also includes Kevin Dillon (THE BLOB), Enrique Arce, William (not Bill) Moseley and Nadia Farés (STORM WARNING, THE CRIMSON RIVERS). The release is planned for this November.
