Reason Pictures is getting into the teen brainwashing business. The company has nabbed an untitled thriller pitch from scribes Kevin Walsh and Gotham Chopra that finds high school students being packed off to a finishing school.
The plot follows a group of troublemakers getting remanded to the facility – which is actually a remote detention centre where brain-alteration and torture ensues. Our heroes must escape from the place before they turn into perfect – mindless – students.
Hmmm... Troubled teens being tinkered with to make them into more obedient students? Sure, it sounds very similar to the 1998 movie misfire Disturbing Behaviour, but we won't hold that against them just yet.
