On June 1st, as reported by TV Guide, fans of Colin Farrell can look forward to watching him play Stuart “Stu” Shepard, a young publicist living a life shrouded in deceit. When Stu is trapped in a phone booth by an unidentified killer, he’s compelled to expose the truth about his fabricated persona as a dishonest and arrogant man in New York City. The mysterious caller aims to erase the false image that Stu has constructed. In addition to Farrell, the film also stars Kiefer Sutherland as The Caller (the unidentified killer who made the call), Forest Whitaker as Capt. Ed Ramey, Katie Holmes as Pamela “Pam” McFadden (Stu’s mistress), and Radha Mitchell as Kelly Shepard (Stu’s wife).

Actress Paula Jai Parker, along with Tia Texada, John Enos III, Richard T. Jones, Keith Nobbs, and Josh Pais, are among the stars featured in the film titled Phone Booth. This movie debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2002, but its release in U.S. theaters was delayed until April 4, 2003, following an incident in Washington that caused 20th Century Fox to push back the premiere. Joel Schumacher (known for films like The Incredible Shrinking Woman and Batman Forever) directed it, with David Zucker (creator of Airplane!, The Naked Gun, and Scary Movie 3) producing, and Larry Cohen (writer of Black Caesar and Perfect Strangers) penning the screenplay.

The movie titled ‘Phone Booth’ earned $97.8 million at the box office and received a 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. During an interview with Yahoo Entertainment in 2023, Colin Farrell commemorated the film’s 20th anniversary and discussed its swift production. ‘Phone Booth’ was quite enjoyable, but it was also demanding as I spent nine consecutive days inside the booth. We filmed just one day on Times Square. Typically, a feature film isn’t completed in ten days, but we made it happen.’
