Phoebe Tonkin, star of The CW’s vampire drama “The Originals” and its short-lived witch series “The Secret Circle,” is set to star in I Know What You Did Last Summer director Jim Gillespie’s Take Down, an abduction thriller written by Ransom scribe Alexander Ignon.

Take Down follows a group of spoiled international rich kids who are abducted while at a secluded camp in the wilderness for troubled teens. Held for ransom, the kids must plot their own escape and survival when their billionaire parents don’t come through.

From miniature dog breeds to bite-size candy bars to midget porn, people love tiny things. But, small packages don’t always bring good things. That’s the lesson learned in Piranha Sharks, an outrageous creature-feature starring pretty up-and-comer Jessica Sonneborn (Bloody Bloody Bible Camp).

Piranha Sharks follows a group of New Yorkers terrorized by great white sharks bio-engineered to be the size of piranhas. Originally created for rich people to enjoy as pets, things go horribly wrong when the mutant man-eaters escape into the city’s sewer system.
