– C. Thomas Howell and Sara Canning join Ryan Phillippe in the thriller films “One Mile” and its sequel, “One More Mile.”

– Expect anxious college tours that swirl into chaos when they encounter a not-so-friendly off-the-grid community trying to preserve their family “traditions.”
Alright, my friend, buckle up because we’re diving into the crazy world of cinema with “One Mile” and its sequel “One More Mile.” So, you know how college tours can be a real drag? Well, picture this: you think you’re just going on a routine father-daughter bonding trip, and it turns into a hair-raising adventure with kidnappings and a side of creepy family drama. Yeah, sign me up!
First off, let’s meet our main cast. We’ve got Ryan Phillippe, who you probably remember from all those heartthrob roles back in the day. He’s playing Danny, the estranged dad—because what’s a good movie without some family drama, right? Next to him, we have Amélie Hoeferle, his daughter Alex. You know how it is—teenage angst meets parental awkwardness. And just to spice things up a little, they’ll be hanging out with C. Thomas Howell, who takes on the role of Stanley Dixon. Now, Stanley sounds like the kind of guy who gives you the creeps at the family BBQ, right? Turns out, he leads a more dangerous life than a horror movie villain trying to spice up his family’s “bloodline.”
Oh, and let’s not forget about Sara Canning, who plays Janine, the mother caught between a rock and a hard place. She sends Danny on this college tour in a last-ditch effort to fix their shattered relationship. But as things unfold, she realizes not hearing from them isn’t just typical teenage drama. Oh no, it’s time for Super Mom to kick it into gear and do whatever it takes to track down her daughter. I mean, can you imagine that phone call? “Hey, so I just got this feeling my ex-husband and our daughter are lost and maybe in danger. Can you send a search party, please?”
Now, before all your movie-night snacks kick in, this thriller is directed by Adam Davidson, who’s somehow convinced the team to film both projects simultaneously. Forget dual screens; we’re talking dual movies! Who knew college tours could spiral so quickly? Production starts on September 9, and Vancouver Island is ready for the chaos.
The writing team is bringing the drama with John Hlavin, TJ Brady, and Rasheed Newson—talk about a dream team! They’ve whipped up a story that will have you gripping your popcorn, wide-eyed, and maybe just a tad paranoid next time you think about taking a scenic drive.
If you’ve had the pleasure of being utterly lost in the woods and thinking, “Hey, no biggie,” this film will have you thinking twice. Just imagine: you’re lost trying to find that next prestigious college and then bam! You wander into the midst of a hostile community. What are they even doing there? Probably some bizarre tradition involving awkward family reunions and questionable outdoor cooking.
But back to Howell’s character, Stanley—he’s running the show in his own twisted way. This dude is like the pretentious uncle of horror films, showing up with the worst advice about life while plotting to maintain his family name through kidnapping. Yikes, right? Clearly, if you’re ever invited to a family reunion and the invitation says “off-the-grid,” you might want to send that RSVP back marked “NOPE.”
And our girl Janine? Well, she’s got her work cut out for her. It’s not like she can just scroll through her phone to find them. Picture her pacing around, trying to convince herself that Danny is just a little lost and not planning a trip into the Twilight Zone. Spoiler alert—she won’t rest until she’s got her family back, probably ready to take on a few of those hostile villagers herself.
Phillippe is not just slumming it on set; he’s producing alongside Adam Davidson. Talk about a bustling crew! You got Aaron Kaplan and Michael Lohmann producing for Kapital, plus a little help from the gang at Nomadic Pictures, who will be handling the nitty-gritty of production in Vancouver. That’s a lot of cooking under one roof!
Let’s take a moment to talk about the talent involved here. Howell started his career with some serious street cred from classics like “E.T.” and “The Outsiders.” That’s right; he’s got the kind of background that makes you feel warm and fuzzy—until you realize he’s about to play you a character who’s not so warm and fuzzy. He’s got gigs under his belt like “Obliterated” on Netflix, and he’s making his comeback to show us what he’s got.
As for Canning, she’s been busy with her own projects, recently gracing the screen in Canadian films “Sweetland” and “The Burning Season.” She’s repping for the Canucks and making sure we know she can handle a bit of chaos as well.
So here we are, waiting with bated breath, anticipating some epic twists that make you question everything you thought you knew about family tours—not to mention how quickly it can go from a relaxed trip to life-threatening madness. College tours? More like adventure camps with a side of thrill and a sprinkle of horror. Now, that’s a combo I didn’t see coming!
If you’re like me, this has got you buzzing for the upcoming release! So keep your eyes peeled, grab the popcorn (and maybe a security blanket), and definitely share this little info nugget with your pals! Because let’s be real, you don’t want to be the only one screaming at the big reveal!
