Elle Fanning (The Door in the Floor, Because of Winn Dixie) has been cast to play Krause’s daughter. “The Lost Room” marks the second appearance by Elle Fanning in a SCI FI Channel movie event. She made a brief appearance in SCI FI’s 2002 Emmy winning miniseries Steven Spielberg Presents “TAKEN” that starred and helped launch the career of her older sister, Dakota Fanning.
Craig R. Baxley, who directed SCI FI’s wildly successful 2005 miniseries event “The Triangle,” and Michael Watkins, co-executive producer and director of “Prison Break” (on FOX) who also directed an installment of the Emmy-nominated “Into The West” and SCI FI’s miniseries “5ive Days To Midnight,” will share directing duties on “The Lost Room.”
The Fugitive meets The Twilight Zone in this contemporary sci-fi thriller. When homicide detective Joe Miller (Krause) stumbles upon a seemingly innocuous motel room key, he unlocks the door to a world of unimaginable power and becomes the target of those who will stop at nothing to claim it. The motel room is a treasure trove of seemingly mundane objects, each of which actually possesses a unique power. And as Joe soon discovers, the motel room key is the most potent and coveted object of all. Shadowy organizations dedicated to collecting these charmed objects relentlessly pursue him, hoping to claim the key. When his daughter (Fanning) vanishes inside the motel room, he also becomes the focus of a heated police investigation. Hunted and alone, Joe becomes the central player in a game to which he doesn’t know the rules.
The program continues the tradition of SCI FI’s blockbuster television events, which have included the hit originals “The Triangle,” “Legend of Earthsea,” “Battlestar Galactica,” Steven Spielberg Presents “TAKEN” and Frank Herbert’s “Dune.”
