Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, has picked up the U.S. distribution rights for the sci-fi flick Mutant Chronicles, and has it set for a Friday, April 24th release in select cities. Mutant Chronicles, which boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Thomas Jane (Punisher, The Mist), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Devon Aoki (Sin City) and John Malkovich, is a post-apocalyptic epic based on the popular RPG franchise of the same name. Set in the year 2707, the action takes place on an unrecognizable Earth where a war is raging between four giant corporations who control the planet as they battle over the planet's dwindling resources. This war is soon rendered irrelevant when an errant bomb shatters an ancient buried seal, releasing a horrific mutant army from its prison deep within the earth. As the mutant scourge threatens human extinction, a squad of ragged soldiers, led by Mitch Hunter (Jane), descends into the earth in a last ditch effort to destroy the mutants and save mankind. Prior to its theatrical release, Mutant Chronicles will debut on VOD on Friday, March 27th.
