Bound - Exclusive Trailer Premiere

Hit-making production company The Asylum (SHARKNADO, Z NATION) teams up once again with with award-winning actor/writer/director Jared Cohn (BORN BAD, HOLD YOUR BREATH) on BOUND. Set to be one of the most raw and sexually daring thrillers of the year, BOUND opens in theatres across the US on midnight, January 9, 2015. The film is scheduled to be available on HD online platforms starting with iTunes at the same time.

BOUND stars Charisma Carpenter, best known for her cult-classic role as Cordelia Chase in the massively successful BUFFY THE VAMPIRE series and its spin-off, ANGEL. Carpenter plays opposite newcomer Bryce Draper (The Haves and the Have Nots) and industry veteran Daniel Baldwin (BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY, HELEN ALONE) who rounds out the cast as Carpenter’s powerful, supportive and enigmatic father.

“We’re thrilled to bring BOUND to audiences, a film that has been compared to FIFTY SHADES OF GREY in that it addresses the subject of BDSM. However, our story is a very distinctive and pointedly modern version of the traditional dominant/submissive stereotype,” said Cohn. “At the very core, BOUND is a movie about personal growth that comes from fighting for yourself no matter what the circumstances or the cost.”

In a world of dominance, submission and lust, the story follows the life of Michelle Milan (Carpenter), a wealthy divorcé and single mother working for her father, Walter (Baldwin), a Beverly Hills real estate mogul. Milan meets Ryan Black (Draper), a bold and sexually adventurous younger man who introduces her to the world of BDSM. Milan’s high-pressure life and values are thrown into question by her newfound romance, as she strives to navigate through a labyrinth of dangerous love and lust, high-powered business decisions and keeping her family and her sanity in one piece.

“A modern, suggestively dangerous romp where power and dominance can be used for good and evil, BOUND captivates and surprises from the very first scene.” Cohn continued.
