The film takes place in war-torn Eastern Europe, where a band of battle-worn mercenaries undertake a dangerous mission into a no-man’s land at the behest of a mysterious businessman. When they locate and secure a disused military bunker, they also discover a terrifying secret that has laid buried for half a century – and which they’ll have to fight to survive!
OUTPOST is gut-wrenching, with terrifying set pieces and a suffocating, claustrophobic atmosphere – gory, gruesome and thrilling in equal measure. The multi-national cast includes Ray Stevenson (HBO’s Rome, King Arthur), Julian Wadham (The Madness of King George), Richard Brake (Batman Begins, Hannibal Rising), Michael Smiley, Enoch Frost, Paul Blair, Julian Rivett, Brett Fancy and Johnny Meres.
The deal was done between CFI’s President Jamie Carmichael and Lara Thompson, SPWAG’s Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Productions.
Carmichael said, “SPWAG is the perfect home for OUTPOST, they’re really well positioned to exploit this kind of material and we’re delighted to be working with them.”
Thompson said, “We were very impressed by the footage and with a concept this strong and clear, it really works for us. OUTPOST is hugely entertaining and will be a strong addition to our current slate.”
OUTPOST is produced by Black Camel Pictures and Cinema One in association with Matador Pictures and Regent Capital. Producers are Arabella Page Croft and Kieran Parker of Black Camel. Nigel Thomas of Cinema One is the Executive Producer.
