The much-awaited movie is set to hit select theaters on October 18th, and broaden its release on October 23rd. For those who can't wait, a teaser trailer has now appeared online, giving us a first glimpse of what this campus thriller has in store.

A Dose of Campus Drama

Co-authored by Berger and Alex Russek, “The Line” is an exciting trip into the world of college fraternities and blind loyalty to tradition. It's a classic set-up — a scholarship student named Tom, striving to escape his working-class roots, gets lured in by the alluring promises of a prestigious fraternity, KNA. High social standing and golden alumni connections lie at his feet, but uncharted dangers lurk behind the curtain.

Romantic Entanglements and Power Plays

As the film unravels, Tom starts dating Annabelle, who is from a different social circle. Meanwhile, he also encounters the manipulative plans of his fraternity president during the hazing it conducts for new members. This whirlpool of ambition and loyalty turns Tom's life into a thrilling game that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

Star-Studded Cast

“The Line” puts together an impressive cast. Alex Wolff, known for his role in “Hereditary”, plays Tom while Lewis Pullman from “The Strangers: Prey at Night” is cast as the fraternity president. Halle Bailey, renowned for her part in “The Little Mermaid”, plays Annabelle. Co-starring are Austin Abrams, the late Angus Cloud, Bo Mitchell, Cheri Oteri, Scoot McNairy, Denise Richards, and John Malkovich.

Behind the Scenes

Alexandre Dauman, Jack Parker, Adam Paulsen, and Lije Sarki hold the reins as producers of “The Line”. Taylor Grant, Zack Purdo, Ramanan Sivalingam, Dustin Zhang, Magnus Rausing, Ryan Alexander, Stacey Grant, Jay Van Hoy, and Marc Porterfield function as executive producers of this exhilarating film.

“The Line” can be seen as a callback to the “youths behaving badly” genre of movies like the 2000 campus thriller “The Skulls”. These kind of flicks may have slipped under your radar in recent times but “The Line” is all ready to pull them back into the limelight.
