Odd Thomas, based on the book by Dean Koontz, was directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) back in 2011 and it's finally seeing the light of day in the US, courtesy of Image Entertainment.
"Odd Thomas (Yelchin) tells the story of a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities. Maybe he has a gift, maybe it’s a curse, Odd has never been sure, but he tries to do his best by the silent souls who seek him out. Sometimes they want justice and he finds himself helping police solve a crime. Occasionally, they prevent one.
One day, however, a mysterious man comes to town with a filing cabinet stuffed with information on the world’s worst killers and a pack of hyena-like shades that follow him wherever he goes. Who the man is and what he wants, not even Odd’s deceased informants can tell him. What happens next is a mysterious battle between light and darkness."
Written and directed by Stephen Sommers, Odd Thomas stars Anton Yelchin, Willem Dafoe, and Addison Timlin. We've heard that the movie is already available on select VOD services and will also receive a limited theatrical release on February 28th. A DVD (and possibly Blu-ray) version in the near future seems likely, but an official release date has not yet been announced.
