In Concrete Island, The Machinist writer Scott Kosar adapts the J.G. Ballard novel about a man who becomes stranded under a highway overpass after a car crash. Forced to live off whatever he can find in his car, Bale will slowly lose his mind as the “island” he’s on reveals its other residents to him. He then decides to forsake his old life and remain there.

Sometimes I find myself dreaming about leaving the confines of the modern world and going to live stranded on a highway island. But I’d miss Chinese food too much. (We Got This Covered via CinemaBlend)

An unexplained blackout plunges the city of Detroit into total darkness, and by the time the sun rises, only a few people remain — surrounded by heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows.

Yeah, that description pretty much sums it up. It’s basically the real story of Detroit told in one night instead of over decades, and with a blackout instead of a rusting auto industry. Watch the trailer above and see for yourself. (Collider)
