Avatar and Clash of the Titans star Sam Worthington is in “advanced negotiations” to join Final Destination 5 director Steven Quale’s battle between Orcas and Sharks in Alphas.
Check out the poster below!
The film begins when the local Great White population spirals out of control, environmentalist Gavin McDade (Sam Worthington) is tasked with finding a natural solution to the shark problem. He tracks down the owner of a nearby Killer Whale sanctuary, whose career as an Orca trainer was cut short when she was attacked by the star of her own show. She reluctantly agrees to reintroduce a pod of juvenile Orcas into the same waters to drive out the sharks, but soon realizes there’s a female alpha Great White lurking beneath the surface capable of destroying them all. With nowhere else to turn and with his rebellious sister’s surf competition quickly approaching, Gavin must convince the former trainer to unleash the same creature that nearly killed her in what will become the greatest battle of apex predators the oceans have ever seen.
Steven Quale (Final Destination 5, Into the Storm) directs Alphas from a screenplay written by Frank Hannah (The Cooler) from an original story by Hannah and Christopher Tuffin.
Pierre Morel (Taken) and Steve Richards produce with Renee Tab and Christopher Tuffin. Jake Martin and Al Munteanu executive produce with Jonathan Deckter and Nicolas Chartier.
Financed in part by Endurance Media, Worldwide sales are being handled by Sentient Pictures International, Voltage and UTA. Academy Award-winning VFX shop BUF (Bladerunner 2049) and Important Looking Pirates (The Shallows, Kon Tiki) will handle the creature VFX. Pete Zuccarini (Avatar 2 and 3) will choreograph and shoot the underwater sequences.
Alphas will begin principal photography in Puerto Rico this Summer.
