Untraceable Plot

Untraceable is an upcoming 2008 thriller which stars Diane Lane, Joseph Cross, Billy Burke, and Colin Hanks. The film will be distributed by Screen Gems. Gregory Hoblit directed the $57 million production.

Set in Portland, Oregon, the film involves a serial killer who rigs contraptions that kill his victims based on the number of hits received by a website ("www.killwithme.com") that features a live streaming video of the victim. Naturally, thousands of people log on to watch the victims die online. Lane plays the protagonist, a cybercop named Jennifer Marsh, who pieces the mystery together, at great risk to the personal well-being of herself and her young daughter.

The film was shot in and around Portland. A temporary studio was constructed in Clackamas where all non-location photography was done, mostly interiors, including the FBI's cyber division, Marsh's house, the FBI building elevator, several basements, etc. A scene set on on the east end of the Broadway Bridge was shot both on the actual bridge as well as at the studio. A faux diner was built underneath the Broadway bridge, which was used in the movie. The construction of this set took less than 12 hours.
