Eliza Dushku has a new movie out called The Gable 5
Short movie, anyway. It’s called The Gable 5 (no, there is no 1-4 AFAIK) and is directed by Mortal Kombat web series director Kevin Tancharoen.
In a remote location, a secret facility exists unlike anything the world has ever seen. Run by Dr. Conrad Gable, a renowned neurologist, the facility is years ahead of it’s time when it comes to the technology it’s using to research the human body. With an unlimited budget backed by a classified department of the government, Dr. Gable’s motives appear to be for the greater good of humanity. – The chance to create a drug so powerful it could be used to win every battle, every war, with no casualties.
It’s not brilliant, but if you like Dushku, it’s 10 minutes more of her than you had before you watched it.
