The Other Side is an upcoming science fiction action thriller film written, produced and directed by Matthew Li. The film is scheduled to be released in both conventional and IMAX theaters on June 14, 2010.

Plot
Two fiction stories collide into one massive tale that will affect what we see in the worlds and dimensions.

 * Maurice LaMarche as Hanson, Maria's editor.(World 1)
 * Ashlyn Sanchez as Lucy, Lan's friend.(World 1)
 * Toby Kebbell as Garrl.(World 2)

The original cast for Jonas was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but he stated that he was better for the roll of Gregory, which was originally for James Marsden. So they switched rolls.

At first Amanda Seyfried passed on the roll for Cassy, because she said this was not the genre of film she'd like to be in, but later she changed her mind after a word with Li.

Nicole Kidman was actually the thrid choice for Maria, the first two were Julia Roberts and Jennifer Connelly.

Production
On March 2009, Columbia Pictures purchased the spec script from Matthew Li. It was the second time in a row that Columbia excepted a spec script from Matthew Li, the previous one was The Event. The original budget was $250 million, but it was soon reduced.

Filming took place in New York City, Los Angeles, Sydney, Chicago, and parts of Bangladesh. Matthew Li is also the writer and director of previous mind-twisting films, Drawing starring Nicolas Cage and Naomi Watts; and The Event starring Denzel Washington.
