Cam Gigandet, who played bad-boy vamp James in Twilight, has sunk his teeth into a new sci-fi thriller, Pandorum, set to release September 9.

The plot begins with a stranded duo on a seemingly abandoned spaceship, 500 million miles from earth. Clueless to their identities, how long they’ve been asleep or their reason for being trapped in space, the smaller of the duo shimmies through the small airshaft of their sleep chamber.

Finding out quickly that they aren’t alone, secrets quickly begin to unfold and a deathly reality that could affect the survival of mankind shockingly surfaces.

The trailer begs the questions:

What if you awoke with no memory?

What if the world you knew was gone?

What if you discovered you were not alone?

Dennis Quaid plays Lt. Payton, Ben Foster plays Corporal Bower and Cam plays Gallo. Director Christian Alvart’s other films include Antibodies and Case 39 with Renee Zellweger.
