Needlestick injury is a serious business. But now, a film producer has chosen to reinvent the word as the title of a new “psychological thriller about a cardiac surgeon who discovers a cure for aging, but is deadly for his subjects. Once he turns a cardiac hospital into a source for his test subjects, his young student must fight his way out of the hospital to survive, and put a stop to Dr. Crick’s experiments.”

The thriller was written, and will be directed by Michigan native Steven J. Karageanes. The project is expected to shoot in metro Detroit this December, and should be premiered in summer 2013. Karageanes is a sports medicine physician in Detroit and current President of the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine. He recently won the Action on Film $100,000 Writers Challenge for his script “Make It Big.” His production team all hail from Michigan, including producers Dwjuan Fox and Edward Stencel and executive producer Aimee Cowher.
