Phone Booth is a 2003 morality thriller about a man who is held hostage in a telephone booth by a sniper. It stars Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Radha Mitchell, Katie Holmes and was directed by Joel Schumacher. The music was composed by Harry Gregson-Williams. The film was originally scheduled to be released on November 15, 2002, but was delayed until April 4, 2003 due to the Beltway sniper attacks.
The principal photography on the film was completed in 10 days, with an additional 2 days of establishing shots, pick-ups and re-shoots. The film is set in real-time, so the timespan in which the film takes place is as long as it takes to watch it, much like the television series 24, which also stars Kiefer Sutherland. Like 24, it also uses split screens (and is also produced by 20th Century Fox), and stars Kiefer Sutherland.
Even though the film is set in New York City, it was filmed in downtown Los Angeles (at Fifth Street, between S Broadway and S Spring Street)....
