With a dual time structure that cuts between the planning for the escape and the escape itself, “Escapist” breaks new ground in a subgenre that has been tread such by movies as “The Longest Yard” and “The Shawshank Redemption.” The Parallel Films and Picture Farm production is directed by Rupert Wyatt from a script he wrote with Daniel Hardy. Adrian Sturges and Alan Moloney produced; William Morris Independent handled the sale.
