"Collider" is a melting pot of classic sci-fi: time travel, black holes and wormholes, strangers mysteriously thrown together across time and a discredited scientist struggling to convince the world of an imminent apocalypse. It combines traditional sci-fi themes and an action packed story with elements of drama and romance. The action takes place in 2018, the year the planet has just collapsed and the human species will be wiped out due to a succession of natural disasters and the emergence of a mutant race called the Unknown. The story focuses on a young scientist Peter Ansay, who sabotages CERN laboratories’ Large Hadron Collider when his credibility is wrongfully destroyed.

"Collider" was shot in an old boutique hotel in the outskirts of Dublin City and at the Ballymore Eustace Water Treatment Works in Kildare, which was used to recreate the CERN complex. It features Iain Robertson (Plunkett & Macleane, Band of Brothers) and Lucy Cudden (Judas Ghost, Afterlife). After a sucessfull run in Portuguese and Irish cinemas, the film adaptation has recently been sold to Japan with Content Media handling international sales.
