Just ahead of the forthcoming virtual Cannes market, Shout! Studios has acquired U.S. rights to the post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller The Blackout, helmed by Egor Baranov, the director of the hit fantasy-horror trilogy Gogol, reports Variety.
In the film, a blackout hits all corners of the Earth, except a small ring-like area in Eastern Europe. When military forces venture beyond the ring what they find is shocking. There are corpses everywhere. Scientists determine the cause of death to be a toxin produced by people’s own bodies. Who or what is destroying all life on Earth? How long will the last outpost of mankind survive?
The Blackout, which received a wide release in Russia on Nov. 21, will be released under the title The Blackout: Invasion Earth by Shout! Studios.
The Blackout was produced by Valeriy Fedorovich and Evgeniy Nikishov (Metro 2033) for Premier Studios. It was written by Ilya Kulikov (Chernobyl, Zone of Exclusion). The soundtrack was written by Mike Shinoda, the frontman of Linkin Park.
Here’s the official English-dubbed U.S. trailer that looks action-packed and quite spectacular.
