The Skulls
The Skulls is a 2000 American thriller film directed by Rob Cohen and starring Joshua Jackson, Paul Walker and Leslie Bibb. The film's plot is inspired by conspiracy theories surrounding the Skull and Bones society at Yale University. Although The Skulls was widely panned by critics, it performed modestly at the box office and led to two direct-to-video sequels: The Skulls II (2002) and The Skulls III (2004).
