JINN, a tension filled supernatural thriller written and directed by Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad stars Dominic Rains (Flight 93), Serinda Swan (USA’s Graceland), Ray Park (Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace), Faran Tahir (Elysium) and William Atherton (Die Hard). The film which is due to hit N. American theatres April 4th is being distributed by Exxodus Pictures and Freestyle Releasing. It explores the secrets of ancient mythological beings which involves ghost-like entities and revolves around the Eastern mythology of creation.

Setting the scene:

In the beginning, three were created. Man made of clay. Angels made of light. And a third made of fire. For centuries, stories of angels and men have captured the imagination and been etched into history crossing all boundaries of culture, religion and time. These two races have dominated the landscape of modern mythology, shrouding the evidence that a third was ever created. This third race, born of smokeless fire, was named the JINN. Modern man has all but forgotten this third race ever existed. It is time for him to remember.

Already generating a substantial amount of attention, this is the first film to accurately introduce and portray the JINN concept.

Faran Tahir as Ali

Film Synopsis:

Shawn (Dominic Rains), an automotive designer, enjoys an idyllic life with his new wife Jasmine (Serinda Swan) until it is interrupted by a cryptic message. The message warns of imminent danger and a curse that has afflicted his family for generations. Having lost his parents as a child, Shawn doesn’t believe this unsettling revelation of his past….until strange things start to happen.

Unable to explain the threats and fearing for his life, Shawn turns to Gabriel (Ray Park) and Father Westhoff (William Atherton), a mysterious duo claiming to have answers. With their help, and the aid of Ali (Faran Tahir), a shackled mental patient, Shawn discovers that there is far more to this world than he ever imagined. These revelations set Shawn on a collision course with the unknown, and he alone must find the strength to protect his family and confront the ancient evil that is hunting them.

Serinda Swan as Jasmine

The exhilarating “Fury” trailer has recently surpassed 1,000,000 views on YouTube! The much-buzzed-about trailer also has been viewed hundreds of thousands of additional times on other YouTube channels from various media outlets.

In regards to the film, Ajmal states,

“As many of you have already figured out, "Jinn" is not your typical scary movie.
There is a reason for that.
Just as the authentic concept of the Jinn is extremely deep and multi-faceted, rooted in cultures all over the world…we thought that a movie about them should reflect that same multi-dimensional nature. Revealing the Jinn to the world in this way and starting a new conversation is a big responsibility that we don't take lightly. After all, we wouldn't want to anger them now would we. ;)”

In the film’s action sequences a veicle known as the “Firebreather” is used which was designed by the director himself. It is the first vehicle in movie history to be available to the public for purchase. The “Firebreather” is a V8, 618 horsepower super exotic American muscle car with 50 limited editions being produced as the exact replica of the vehicle in the film. The car, several of which have already been sold, was designed by Exxodus to honor their hometown by creating modern design that fuses the soul of classic, American muscle.

Freestyle Releasing who have been responsible for distributing some of the most successful independent films, including The Illusionist, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, An American Haunting, Bottle Shock, The Collector, Me and Orson Welles.

The makers of JINN are also running an exciting contest giving away a free Xbox or iPad! Enter before the movie release date, April 4 by clicking on: JinnTheMovie.com/contest/
