Not to be confused with The 5th Wave, out this Friday, Cold Prey director Roar Uthaug’s The Wave hails from Norway and is generating a lot of buzz ahead of its March 4th theatrical and VOD release. The disaster film is headed our way courtesy of Magnolia, and today brings the trailer.

It was first revealed on Apple but has now hit YouTube so check it out below!

The Wave is based on the 1934 real-life tsunami in Norway’s Tafjord, which left 40 people dead. It opened the Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund and posted the third-best opening in Norway for a local film during the final weekend of August.

The screenplay, written by John Kåre Raake and Harald Rosenløw Eeg, is set at Geiranger Fjord, one of Norway’s top tourist attractions. It takes place in contemporary Norway and centers around a geologist who realizes the inferno is about to hit.

Kristoffer Joner, Ane Dahl Torp, Jonas Hoff Oftebro, and Fritjof Saheim star in Uthaug’s fourth feature, which was produced by Martin Sundland and Are Heidenstrom for Fantefilm Fiksjon.

Synopsis:
The experienced geologist Kristian Eikfjord has accepted a job offer out of town. He is getting ready to move from the city of Geiranger with his family when he and his colleagues measure small geological changes in the underground. Kristian gets worried, and his worst nightmare is about to come true when the alarm goes off and the disaster is inevitable. With less than 10 minutes to react, it becomes a race against time to save as many as possible, including his own family.
