`Urban Legends: Final Cut' premieres

"Urban Legends: Final Cut," starring Jennifer Morrison, Matthew Davis, Hart Bochner, Joseph Lawrence and Loretta Devine, is currently slated to open in theaters nationwide Friday, Sept. 22.

Amy (Morrison), Travis (Davis) and Graham (Lawrence) are student filmmakers who would love to make it big in Hollywood. But first they have got to survive their last semester at Alpine University, where their thesis film will vie for the prestigious, career-making Hitchcock Award. From the producers of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Urban Legends: Final Cut," about a contest where the competition is killer -- and someone's killing the competition.

"Urban Legends: Final Cut" also stars Anthony Anderson, Eva Medes, Michael Bacall, Jessica Cauffiel and Marco Hofschneider.

The Phoenix Pictures presentation is distributed by Columbia Pictures. It is directed by John Ottman from an original screenplay by Paul Harris Boardman and Scott Derrickson. Neal M. Moritz, Gina Matthews and Richard Luke Rothchild produce. Michael McDonnell is co-producer; Brad Luff and Nicholas Osborne are executive producers.

Amy, a down-to-earth documentary film student, wants to take a crack at the Hitch-cock. During a chance meeting with Reese, the new campus security guard, Amy is inspired by the story of an urban legend at Pendleton University, Reese's former place of employment.

Taking a break from documentaries, Amy decides her thesis film will be a fictional, psychological thriller about those contemporary tall tales known as urban legends.

After writing the script, storyboarding the shots and casting her actors, Amy and her crew of fellow students prepare to roll camera, even though Vanessa (Eva Mendes), Amy's boom operator, is more interested in girls than rolling sound; Simon (Marco Hofschneider), her cameraman, is a womanizing, chain-smoking European; and Stan (Anthony Anderson) and Dirk (Michael Bacall), her two special effects geeks, live for latex and pray to Lucas (George, that is).
