INITIAL PRESS RELEASE

Photography. Principal production is underway
on 5ive Days to Midnight, SCI FI Channel's next
original miniseries event. Produced by Lions Gate

the five-hour thriller is slated for a June 2004

The story revolves around college professor J.T.
Neumeyer, who stumbles upon a mysterious briefcase
containing a police file filled with details of
a gruesome murder — his own. The file, complete
with photos of his bullet-strewn corpse and a
list of suspects, indicates that the shooting

at first, J.T. realizes, when events begin to
mirror those in the report, that the file is real
and time is quickly running out. He has only days
to solve the mystery of his own murder and hopefully
change the course of the future.
In order to maximize the suspense, the production
will air as five one-hour episodes over five consecutive
nights — one hour for each day J.T. has to change
his fate.
