Based on an original script by Rae Brunton, the film is a high octane, gory scare-fest in the tradition of Aliens, Predator and The Descent. Set in an unnamed Eastern European country ravaged by war, the film focuses on a world-weary team of battle-worn mercenaries who are hired by a mysterious businessman to venture into no-man’s land and scope out an abandoned military bunker.
Once at the outpost, their mission takes a turn for the worse when the men discover a room full of mutilated bodies. They come under attack from an unknown force and soon realise that they are not alone in the bunker…
Principal photography is scheduled for January 8th 2007, and a multi-national cast is currently being assembled.
Black Camel’s Arabella Croft said, “Steve is one of the most talented new directors in the UK, and its refreshing to see how fast a deal can come together when you have a great package”
Managing Director of ContentFilm Int’l, Jamie Carmichael said “OUTPOST is a gut-wrenching action horror movie. It’s going to be one of the scariest, most adrenaline-fuelled British horror films ever made.”
ContentFilm’s slate also include Paul Verhoeven’s BLACK BOOK which is screening at the London Film Festival, Peter Greenaway’s extravagant mystery NIGHTWATCHING, Richard Attenborough’s deeply moving romantic epic CLOSING THE RING and Fred Schepisi’s LAST MAN.
