August 24, 2007 Actually Aja isn't directing, he's producing but that should be good enough for admirers of "High Tension" and "Hils Have Eyes." Here's the storyline.



It’s Christmas Eve. Angela Bridges (Rachel Nichols- “Alias” and CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR), an ambitious young executive, works late before she leaves for her family’s holiday party. When she gets down to the parking garage, she discovers that her car won't start. The garage is deserted and her cell phone doesn't get a signal underground. When Thomas (Wes Bentley- AMERICAN BEAUTY), a friendly security guard, comes along and offers to help, Angela nervously accepts his gesture of good will. Soon after a failed attempt to start her car, he invites her to stay and share a small Christmas dinner he's preparing in the parking office, but she laughs it off. Angela doesn’t realize this is no laughing matter – Thomas has been watching her closely...for months. His dinner invitation is not optional. If Angela wants to live to see Christmas morning, she must find a way to escape from level P2 of the parking garage.

This is the backdrop for Summit Entertainment’s new thriller “P2,” a suspenseful nail-biter exploring the fears of being trapped in a dark place and stalked by an obsessed voyeur. In the vein of suspenseful cat-and-mouse thrillers such as WAIT UNTIL DARK, “P2” takes the fear of the underground to a whole new level.

Under the direction of Franck Khalfoun, this taut suspense thriller combines the creative team of producer Alexandre Aja (THE HILLS HAVE EYES - writer/director), Gregory Levasseur (HIGH TENSION - writer), Patrick Wachsberger (MR. AND MRS. SMITH - producer) and executive producers Bob Hayward, David Garrett, and Alix Taylor.
