Up next from Wyrmwood director Kiah Roache-Turner is a shark attack survival movie titled Beast of War, and Deadline brings us the first word about the movie this morning.
Cornerstone is launching Beast of War at the upcoming American Film Market, and it’s being described as a “survival action thriller” that’s set during World War II.
“The film follows a band of soldiers stranded in the open ocean who must face a heart-pounding battle for survival against the ultimate apex predator — a great white shark.”
The best news? It looks like Beast of War will feature practical creature effects!
Deadline notes, “CreatureNFX’s director, Paul Trefry (Alien: Covenant, Unbroken), will create practical creature effects from his studio in Australia. Trefry is well known for his work with directors such as James Cameron, Ridley Scott, and Baz Luhrmann.”
Here’s the full synopsis for Beast of War…
1942. A warship carries hundreds of Australian soldiers across the Timor Sea to the frontline of WW2. Suddenly, Japanese fighter jets scream out of the sky, and within minutes the ocean becomes a hell of steel, fire, oil, and blood. With the vessel destroyed, a handful of soldiers build a makeshift raft from floating debris as they cling to their lives.
Tensions run high between the hot-headed and terrified young men, as they band together in an effort to survive. But their biggest battle is yet to come. In the dark below, a great white shark hunts in the wreckage and is drawn to the smell of fresh blood.
“We loved working with Kiah on Sting. He’s a kinetic filmmaker with a deep respect for the genre and we know he will deliver a distinctive and adrenaline-fuelled shark movie,” said Cornerstone’s Alison Thompson and Mark Gooder.
