Bionic Buzz® covered the red carpet of the world premiere of The Activated Man at the Laemmle Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills. The event honored the late Tony Todd, star of the film, who sadly passed away recently. His widow Fatima Cortez-Todd was in attendance at the event, joined by the film’s director Nicholas Gyeney, producer Kelsey Aho, and key cast members including Kane Hodder, as well as Hollywood celebrities, friends and fans of the late actor.
As Ors Gabriel (Costa) struggles with the grief from losing his best friend and beloved dog to cancer, the trauma brings on strange visions only Ors can see. While he questions whether his mind has fractured or if it’s actually real, a mysterious rise in murder-suicides takes hold of the city, and Ors becomes haunted by images of a shadowy figure known as ‘The Fedora Man’. Through torments and terror, Ors must face his fears and confront ‘The Fedora Man’ as he uncovers dark secrets from his past, while finally embracing who he really is, and what he is meant to do.
A film festival favorite, The Activated Man stars the late Tony Todd (Candyman), Sean Young (Blade Runner), Kane Hodder (four-time Jason Voorhees/Friday 13th), Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You), Vladimir Kulich (Vikings), Sab Shimono (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III), Jamie Costa (Bring Him To Me), Ivana Rojas (Hulu’s This Fool), and Scott Brown (as the villainous Fedora Man).
