Recently The Wave made a big splash here on U.S. soil, and for good reason… It was probably one of the most intense and frightening disaster flicks ever made. Now its makers are heading to the well again to bring us more Mother Nature-brewed chaos.
Screen Daily reports that Scandinavian powerhouse TrustNordisk has already closed a slew of deals on new disaster film The Quake, which it is introducing at this week’s European Film Market.
The film, set to shoot this autumn for director John Andreas Andersen, has been pre-sold to German-speaking territories (SquareOne), Latin America (California), China (DD Dream), Hong Kong (Sundream), Taiwan (Moviecloud), the Middle East (Gulf), and South Korea (AtNine).
The $6.4M project marks a return to the disaster genre for Fantefilm, producers of hit The Wave, this time inspired by a 1904 earthquake in Oslo.
It will be released in Norway on August 30, 2018, and will hopefully head Stateside soon thereafter. Stay tuned!
