David Hackl (“Saw V,” “Dangerous”) is set to direct the neo-noir action thriller “Solar Storm” for Pelican Pictures, from a script by Joe Rabl. Jack Hudson (“The Devil’s Train”) stars and produces opposite Lorena Andrea (“Warrior Nun”).

Unfolding over a single catastrophic day, “Solar Storm” follows Joe (Hudson), an ex-convict fighting to leave his past behind, whose path collides with Jasmine (Andrea), a woman desperate to escape a brutal marriage. When the largest solar storm in recorded history knocks out power, communications and order across the city, blackouts spiral into looting and riots. As the line between predator and prey burns away, the two go on the run through 24 hours of darkness — hunted by forces that may prove more dangerous than the storm overhead.
