Outlander began principal
photography on October 16, 2006. The sci-fi action/adventure film stars Jim Caviezel (The Passion of The Christ, The Count of Monte
Crisco), Sophia Myles (Underworld: Evolution, Tristan + Isolde),
Jack Huston (Factory Girl), Ron Perlman (Hellboy)
and John Hurt (V For Vendetta, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone). The film is
helmed by Howard McCain from a screenplay he wrote with Dirk Blackman, and
produced by Ascendant Pictures/VIP Medienfronds 4
in association with Rising Star. Producers are
Chris Roberts and Barrie Osbourne. The Weinstein
Company will handle distribution in the United States and Wild Bunch is
handling international sales. Outlander begins
when a space craft crashes into the majestic fjords of ancient Norway and
into the time of the Vikings. From the wreckage emerge two bitter enemies: a
soldier from another world – Kainan – and a
bloodthirsty creature known as the Moorwen. Man and
monster both seeking revenge for violence committed against them. As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in
its path, Kainan forms an unlikely alliance with
the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with
ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the
monster - before it destroys them all. The Moorwen has been designed by famed monster/creature
creator Patrick Tatopoulos (Silent Hill, I, Robot,
Godzilla, Independence Day). In addition, the film's conceptual art and
design was done by the team of conceptual artists (Iain McCaig
and Ninth Ray) behind the "Star Wars" trilogy. Rounding out the
creative team are Cinematographer Pierre Gill (The Covenant) and Production
Designer David Hackl (Skinwalkers,
"Saw" II & III) and Costume Designer Debra Hanson (Beowulf
& Grendel). Post-production will be handled by
Toronto-based firm, Spin. Executive
Producers are John Schimmel, Don Carmody Christopher Eberts, Kia
Jam, Don Carmody, Karen Loop, Dirk Blackman and
Andy Grosch. Filming continues
through January 5, 2007 in Halifax and Newfoundland, Canada. |
