The rights will cover North America with plans to release the film in theaters and on demand on April 25th, 2025.

When he reports it to the police and they refuse to believe him, he reluctantly seeks the help of his neighbor Ed (Morgan), a jaded, retired security guard with his own troubled past. As the unlikely duo delves deeper into the mystery, their pursuit of the truth forces them to confront not only the dark secrets surrounding the disappearance but also the unspoken wounds that haunt them both.

“I fell in love with NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH because of Ed and Simon’s unique relationship, which Jeff and Jack brought to life with care and commitment,” said director Duncan Skiles. “By the end of production, our entire crew had joined me in their love for this unlikely duo, creating a special energy that touched every scene. We are excited to bring this film to theaters and hope audiences connect with these characters as deeply as we have.”

Posted on by

thehorizonexperimentThe critically acclaimed The Horizon Experiment comic book series, led by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning The Good Asian creator Pornsak Pichetshote, will be collected into a first volume this April. As originally announced by Variety, the series features five unique “pilot” one-shots by all-star creative teams from across entertainment, with stories featuring diverse protagonists inspired by pop culture icons (like James Bond, John Constantine, and Indiana Jones), while exploring popular genre fare from a different perspective.

“The Horizon Experiment is me and some of the most talented people I know seeing what’s possible,” writes Pichetshote in the introduction of The Horizon Experiment, Vol. 1. “Five one-shots co-edited by one of the best editors in comics, Will Dennis, all released monthly and designed to act as pilots for follow-up books if sales merit. Everyone was given the same challenge: Create a protagonist from a marginalized background set in a popular genre where if the background of that protagonist changed, so would your story.”

Co-edited by Pichetshote and Eisner Award-winning editor Will Dennis (Somna: A Bedtime Story, Gideon Falls), the series kicked off with The Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian, written by Pichetshote and featuring illustrations by superstar artists Terry and Rachel Dodson (Adventureman, Harley Quinn), a scintillating thriller full of secrets and scandal, featuring a Chinese super spy inspired by James Bond. The Horizon Experiment series also features stunning connecting variant covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Tula Lotay.
