You guys remember that impressive looking genre flick Xavier Gens has heading our way called THE DIVIDE? Ringing any bells? If you’re drawing a blank don’t worry about it, our last update on the flick was way back at the beginning of November.
Well it seems THE DIVIDE is finally inching close to an actual premiere date, or so says director Xavier Gens via his Facebook. According to the filmmaker the long awaited flick will be premiering this March in Austin, Texas. So why this March in Austin, Texas? Perhaps because of a little something called the South by Southwest Film Festival? I’d recon that’s a very fair assumption. So there you have it folks! THE DIVIDE finally finds itself a premiere in just a couple months. Natch!
When a cataclysmic explosion devastates New York, eight strangers take refuge in the basement of their apartment building, a converted fallout shelter designed by their paranoid superintendent Mickey. With just three connecting rooms it’s barely big enough, but with stockpiles of food and water, the group are at least safe from the horrors outside, and they settle in and attempt to fathom the catastrophe that has ended the lives of so many of their loved ones. But suddenly men in HAZMAT suits storm their shelter and open fire. The strangers join forces in a desperate bid to take on this enemy, with no one understanding what these HAZMATS are looking for and what drives them to be so merciless. With fatalities on both sides and the remaining HAZMATS temporarily pushed back and locked out, the worst is yet to come for the group. Cabin fever sets in as the perception of the shelter shifts from safe-haven to claustrophobic rat-trap. Fear of radiation-poisoning and dwindling supplies play on their minds, while the young, beautiful Eva has more immediate worries… Her fiancé Sam is weaker than the other males, who are slowly starting to regress into ruthless, violent, predators. As tension mounts their sanctuary becomes a living hell, and with Sam powerless to protect Eva, she must rely on her wits to save herself from becoming the mercy of the pack in a thrilling final act.
THE DIVIDE stars Milo Ventimiglia, Lauren German (below), Ashton Holmes, Rosanna Arquette, Courtney B. Vance and Michael Biehn. Be sure to keep it here for more on the flick as we inch closer to it’s premiere.
