New Flatliners 2017 teaser trailer has been published this week to YouTube by Sony Pictures Entertainment, providing a glimpse at what you can expect from this year’s remake of the original movie. The original “Flatliners” film, released in 1990, was a cult classic that starred Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, and Kevin Bacon. This modern reimagining aims to capture the same thrilling essence while introducing new elements to captivate today’s audience.
In the Flatliners 2017 movie, five medical students played by Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, and Kiersey Clemons become obsessed with the mystery of what lies beyond the confines of life. They take turns stopping their hearts for longer and longer periods of time, each time venturing deeper into the unknown.
Embark on a daring and dangerous experiment: By stopping their hearts for short periods of time, each triggers a near-death experience – giving them a firsthand account of the afterlife. But as their experiments become increasingly dangerous, they are each haunted by the sins of their pasts, brought on by the paranormal consequences of trespassing to the other side.
The Cast and Their Roles
Ellen Page, known for her roles in “Juno” and “Inception,” plays Courtney, the ringleader of the group who is driven by a personal tragedy to uncover the secrets of the afterlife. Diego Luna, who gained international fame for his role in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” plays Ray, a skeptical yet curious medical student. Nina Dobrev, famous for her role in “The Vampire Diaries,” portrays Marlo, a competitive and ambitious student.

Lastly, Kiersey Clemons, who starred in “Dope” and “Hearts Beat Loud,” plays Sophia, a student who is initially reluctant but becomes deeply involved in the experiments.
The Themes and Psychological Elements
The film delves into several profound themes, including the ethical boundaries of scientific experimentation, the quest for knowledge, and the psychological impact of near-death experiences. Each character’s journey is not just a physical one but also a deeply emotional and psychological exploration. As they delve deeper into the afterlife, they are confronted with their deepest fears and regrets, forcing them to face the consequences of their past actions.
The concept of near-death experiences has always fascinated both scientists and the general public. The film taps into this curiosity by dramatizing the potential consequences of such experiments. It raises questions about the afterlife, the existence of a soul, and what it means to truly live and die. The paranormal elements add an extra layer of suspense and horror, making the film not just a psychological thriller but also a supernatural one.
The original “Flatliners” was praised for its innovative concept and intense performances, and the 2017 remake aims to build on that legacy. With a talented cast and a gripping storyline, the new “Flatliners” promises to be a thought-provoking and thrilling cinematic experience.
