When an ancient force is threatening humanity, I want Eric Roberts on my side. The guy can handle just about anything, from serial killers to dinosaurs. He also has plenty of experience battling otherworldly forces, so when the Cthulhu hits the fans, I need him in my corner.
Writer Jerry Janda and director Jeremiah Kipp will put Roberts, Nana Gouvea, Tom Sizemore, and a slew of other savvy actors up against otherworldly evil in the upcoming sci-fi/horror flick Black Wake. The story was reportedly inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft, which is why it immediately piqued my interest. Throw ancient gods into anything and I’ll take a look. No, seriously — anything.
Before we get to the trailer, let’s study the Black Wake synopsis.
Specialists gather in a top-secret facility to investigate a series of mysterious deaths on beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. When one scientist examines video evidence to uncover a possible parasitic explanation for the fatalities, she slowly learns that the actual threat may be more dangerous — and far older — than anyone ever imagined. Can she convince her colleagues of the true danger before an ancient force rises from the sea to bring madness and death to all of humanity?
Since the film is still in production, it’s unclear when the finished product will become available for mass consumption. To keep us busy until then, we have a teaser trailer to chew on.
