It was only yesterday when we learned that ROBOCOP’s Joel Kinnaman was set to lead Rob Connolly’s totally-not-about-bears thriller BACKCOUNTRY, and now we’re getting word that EVIL DEAD star Shiloh Fernandez and Rossif Sutherland have also been tapped to star. Not a bad start for the survival tale, that’s for sure. The film was written and produced by Kyle Mann (PUSH, CAPOTE) and co-produced by Michael Risley with executive producers Jeff Sackman and Jonathan Bronfman.
What you need to know:
Elliot Baker seizes the chance to develop a better relationship with his sons when his ex-wife, Karen, and her new husband take a vacation and leave the boys with him. What starts as a bonding opportunity turns into a nightmarish adventure when they get stranded in a deserted cabin near the lake as night falls and a snowstorm rages. Bradley, 15, and Caleb, 12, quickly learn more about their father and what they truly mean to him in this gripping tale of family and survival.
BACKCOUNTRY also stars Tom Holland and Percy Hynes-White. More on this one as we get it!
