In Revolution Studios' “The Forgotten,” the team at Imageworks created a number of visual effects, such as a “T-bone” car crash, a cabin explosion, and the eerie effect of people getting vacuumed up into the sky, to set the mood for this haunting psychological thriller.
Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) is tormented by the memory of her eight-year-old son Sam's death in a plane crash 14 months ago. While trying to work through her grief, she is informed by her psychiatrist, Dr. Munce (Gary Sinise), that she is suffering from delusions, that her son never existed and she is fabricating his memories. Stunned, she tries to find evidence of Sam's existence: photos, videos, scrapbooks. But it has all disappeared. Telly is convinced she is going mad until she meets Ash Correll (Dominic West), the father of one of the other plane crash victims. Together, they embark on a search to prove the existence of their children and reclaim their sanity.
