Those nasty extraterrestrial nuisances are at it again in the new flick SUM1, and we have your early details right here. Lock and load, kids! These aliens can be really friggin’ nasty!
Variety reports that Munich-based sales company Global Screen has struck a first look and co-development deal with Christian Alvart’s Berlin-based independent production company Syrreal Entertainment.
The collaboration will start with the English-language sci-fi thriller SUM1, directed by Christian Pasquariello. Iwan Rheon (“Game of Thrones,” “Misfits,” The Liberator) will be starring in the lead role as a young soldier placed on a desolate watchtower high above a forest on a 100-day assignment. His mission is to defend the outpost against eerie, powerful alien creatures in a strange world.
SUM1 is produced by Alvart (Antibodies, Case 39, Pandorum), Sigi Kamml (1 1⁄2 Brothers, Banklady), and Susa Kusche (Run Boy Run, Shahada). Director of photography is Hagen Bogdanski (The Lives of Others, The Young Victoria).
Principal photography is starting on February 9. Global Screen will start selling the title at the European Film Market in Berlin.
