'Abandon' is an American thriller film released by Paramount Pictures in the US and Buena Vista Distribution internationally in 2002. Written and directed by Stephen Gaghan, Abandon stars Katie Holmes as a college student whose boyfriend (played by Charlie Hunnam) disappeared two years previously. Despite being set at an American university, much of the movie was filmed in Canada at McGill University's McConnell Hall. It is based on the book Adams Fall by Sean Desmond. Incidentally, the book was re-titled Abandon for the movie tie-in paperback printing.
The film co-stars Zooey Deschanel and Elizabeth Whitmere, with Benjamin Bratt playing the detective investigating the boyfriend's disappearance. It received generally negative reviews, with Variety magazine dismissing it as "a tricked-up Fatal Attraction wannabe". Coincidentally, Fatal Attraction was also released by Paramount.
