Hayden Panettiere of Heroes, Scream 4, and Scream VI shares the screen with Tyler James Williams of Everybody Hates Chris, Abbott Elementary, and The Walking Dead in the thriller Amber Alert. Deadline reports that Lionsgate has acquired the worldwide rights to the film, which flew under the radar as it made its way through production and is now in post-production.
Amber Alert was directed by Kerry Bellessa, who also wrote the screenplay with Joshua Oram. Bellessa’s previous credits include the 2022 horror film Immanence and a 2012 thriller that was also called Amber Alert… so apparently this is a reimagining of Bellessa’s previous film. The new take on Amber Alert will show us what happens when an ordinary ride share becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. The story follows Jaq (Hayden Panettiere) who is eager to get to her first day at a new job, and her driver,...

Immanence, the new film from director Kerry Bellessa and co-writer Joshua Oram, the team who gave us Amber Alert, begins on a dark and abandoned boat. As we hear the search and rescue team searching for the crew we see a silent figure appear and then disappear. Then the film flashes back to the start of the story.
Naomi (Summer Bellessa; Funny Thing About Love) and her team are looking for proof of extraterrestrial life. When a meteorite lands somewhere in The Bermuda Triangle and starts emitting strange signals they think they may have discovered what they were looking for.
They rent a boat owned by Davis and captained by a man named Jonah, a name which should have had them running in the other direction.

There's nothing more horrifying than hearing about a child being kidnapped by a psychopath.... but what if you had a chance to make a difference? What if you could engage the murderous loony and fight for the kid. Would you do it? That's the question posed in Amber Alert.
From the Press Release
In Amber Alert, arriving on DVD February 25 from Cinedigm and Random Media, a wanted criminal is in high pursuit.
Starring Summer Bellessa, Chris Hill, and Jasen Wade and directed by Kerry Bellessa, the pulse-pounding film follows two friends who realize that the freeway's "Amber Alert" signs are pointing them to watch for a suspected kidnapper who is driving in the next lane. Still waiting on the police to arrive, the friends take matters into their own hands and decide to chase down the car - and its potentially dangerous driver - themselves.

Well, this is a new one. I didn’t think someone could come up with a new Found Footage gimmick that I hadn’t seen before, but I don’t think I’ve seen a car chase from the Pov of a camera yet. It looks like 90% of the film is shot entirely from the backseat of a car, which will either be highly interesting or incredibly boring. In any case, check out a trailer for director Kerry Bellessa’s “Amber Alert”. Now if this was me, there are a number of things I might do in the same situation, but going on a car chase with a potential child murderer is probably not one of them, but hey, that’s just me. While filming their audition video for a popular reality television show, best friends Nate and Samantha notice several active Amber Alert signs. To their surprise, they recognize...
