The Colony clips promote sci-fi thriller produced by Roland Emmerich

Director Tim Fehlbaum’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller The Colony (formerly known as Tides) will be receiving a theatrical, VOD, and Digital release this Friday, August 27th, and today we’re able to share with you two clips from the movie, which was executive produced by Roland Emmerich. These clips can be seen in the embed above and both are over a minute in length. The first shows a thrilling moment from the film, while the other shows that the Earth is so messed up in this story that people don’t even know what trees are. The clips are followed by the film’s trailer.

Written by Fehlbaum and Mariko Minoguchi, The Colony has the following synopsis:

Cataclysmic conditions on Earth forced a mass exodus to a distant planet. Generations later, a manned mission hurtles back to assess living conditions on the desolate, mostly submerged world. The sole survivor of the expedition is attacked by a violent band of scavengers, themselves locked in battle with a far more sinister foe. Now, mankind’s very survival depends on the bravery and ingenuity of the lone astronaut.

The film stars Nora Arnezeder (Army of the Dead), Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (Department Q: The Absent One), Iain Glen (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter), Sope Dirisu (The Huntsman: Winter’s Tale), Sebastian Roché (The Vampire Diaries), and Joel Basman (The Monuments Men).

Fehlbaum produced The Colony alongside Thomas Wobke and Philipp Trauer of BerghausWobke Filmproduktion, Ruth Waldburger of Vega Film, and Constanze Guttmann of Constantin Film. Serving as executive producers with Emmerich were Christoph Fisser, Henning Molfenter, Charlie Woebcken, Martin Moszkowicz, Christoph Muller. Katja Hoerstmann and Sonja B. Zimmer were co-producers.

Fehlbaum previously directed the 2011 sci-fi thriller Apocalypse (a.k.a. Hell), which had some of the same producers behind it, including Roland Emmerich as an executive producer. Fehlbaum’s co-writer Minoguchi wrote and directed the 2019 drama Relativity.
