An official website has finally launched for Flatliners featuring videos, a gallery, synopsis and an overview of cast and crew credits. Flatliners has a web page on Sony Pictures’ official website with a Flatliners Sony Pictures Prize Draw available to enter in celebration of the imminent cinema release.
Flatliners’ official website is also accompanied by a new international trailer which is scarier than previous trailers and can be watched below; just make sure you don’t turn the lights off before you start watching the trailer! Advertising billboards including each of the character posters are also starting to gradually rollout in what appears to be the beginning of a big promotional push from Sony Pictures ahead of the worldwide release in cinemas.
For anyone who is yet to follow Flatliners on social media; you can follow on the official Flatliners Twitter profile and the official Flatliners Instagram page, while you can like the far more active official Flatliners Facebook page, alongside the hashtag #FlatlinersMovie to show your support for the film.
Flatliners stars Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kiersey Clemons which launches in cinemas worldwide on September 29th 2017. You can find out when Flatliners launches in your region on the official Flatliners IMDB page.
Nina Dobrev has shared a new scary Flatliners poster featuring Diego Luna (left), Ellen Page (centre) and Nina Dobrev (right) as they sleep with a distorted ghostly figure representing each of the three characters standing in front of them; which certainly hones in on the horror elements ahead of its September 29th 2017 release date.

A new international trailer has been released courtesy of Sony Pictures Entertainment including some new footage not seen in the previous trailer.
A further poster has been unveiled showing all five major characters including James Norton (back left) and Kiersey Clemons (right) looking upwards in an edgy poster with a foreboding tone.
Nina Dobrev has participated in a very interesting interview with Erik Davis of entertainment publication Fandango in which Nina has really shined a spotlight on some intriguing details regarding what we can expect from Flatliners in addition to new film stills that Nina features in pretty much all of them which is certainly a positive looking ahead to her amount of screen time.
Nina commented on her character’s motivation,
“Marlo is an ambitious young woman who is an overachiever in some ways. She’s a cellist, and a competitive swimmer. She’s very, very smart and wants to be top of her class. So she’s constantly trying to figure out ways to advance herself, and when she finds out about this opportunity to discover something new in the medical field, she jumps on that.”
Nina revealed what it was like training with medical professionals and what it brings to the film,
“I thought it was really fun to work on this film. We went through three weeks of medical training with real medical technicians, and learned about defibrillators, and how to resuscitate people. What those steps are. It was really informative. I don’t want to sound cocky and say that I could bring someone back to life in real life, but I could definitely now keep them alive long enough until the real professionals came to save the day.”
Nina provided a comparison between the original Flatliners from 1990 to today’s version,
“It’s very much a reimagining. It kinda has the same idea, except now, so many years later, doctors and technology have advanced in a way that we’re able to explore a lot of the things the characters are doing in the movie. It’s a little more based in reality, in terms of the medical side. I’d call it a psychological thriller with a bit of a twist at the end.”
Nina gave some clarification to fans of the original film about Kiefer Sutherland’s role,
“He plays a professor in the film, and we’re all residents and medical students. So he’s our mentor in many ways. I get to have a few scenes with him. He played a different role in the [1990 Flatliners]; he’s not reprising that role here. It’s a little bit different.”
You can read Nina’s entire interview including what she thought of the first trailer, her fellow cast members, what her hopes are for audience reaction and more besides, accompanied by more Flatliners film stills on Fandango.
Following on from yesterday’s incredible debut trailer; the official social media channels have finally launched for sci-fi horror drama Flatliners, although there is no official website as of yet.
You can like the official Flatliners Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/FlatlinersMovie and follow the official Twitter profile at https://www.twitter.com/FlatlinersMovie while there is also an official social media hashtag to be able to share your thoughts on the trailer and everything Flatliners related with #FlatlinersMovie.
Even better is an official poster that lists Nina third on the cast billing which is consistent across all official materials that have been released so far. That is a really good sign as it represents that Nina has a fair amount of on-screen time and the official trailer certainly seems to reflect that point also.
Flatliners stars Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kiersey Clemons with Keifer Sutherland returning from the original 1990 film as his character Nelson and is set to release in cinemas throughout the UK and America on September 29th 2017. There are a few countries in which Flatliners is set to show at cinemas a day or so before the September 29th 2017 release date. For a full list of country specific cinema opening dates; refer to IMDB.
It has been confirmed via the official website for the local Toronto chapter of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees union that Flatliners will be receiving post-production reshoots. It is unknown if the entire cast will be participating in the post-production reshoots and it will hopefully not affect Nina’s filming schedule for Departures.

The filming will be taking place from July 24th until August 1st 2017 in Toronto, Canada with the release date set for September 29th 2017; which has to pose the question if the release date will be delayed again when factoring in the editing process and distributing Flatliners to cinemas on a global scale. The film was previously delayed from August 18th to September 29th 2017 which means it is currently set to release in the same week as American Made starring Tom Cruise. Given the psychological horror tone of Flatliners; I would personally suggest that a Halloween opening would be much more appropriate.
The lack of an official website and first trailer does seem to be cutting it a bit close to generate promotion prior to the current release date which is rather odd given that it will be released by Sony Pictures who normally promote films significantly in advance.
