Back in July we brought along the trailer for THE RIG, a creature feature starring genre giant William Forsythe. Today we received a press release about the flick, sporting some nifty artwork, which you can see to the right.

We also have a line on the DVD supplements; the disc will include audio commentary with Director Peter Atenscio and Producer James D. Benson, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and a trailer.

The synopsis goes something like this: When a tropical storm forces an offshore drilling company to evacuate non-essential personnel from the Charlie oil rig, the small but experienced crew left behind settles in to ride out the storm. Their routine night is interrupted when a crew member goes missing and an extensive search proves futile. Slowly, they discover that a deadly creature is stalking the crew, eliminating them one by one. Surrounded by nothing but raging ocean with no hope of escape, the roughnecks must survive the stormy night with an unrelenting force of death hunting them down.

I’m always down for a seafaring monster mash, so count me in. Plus, Forsythe can do no wrong. (Okay, DEUCE BIGALOW was a little wrong…)

The film also stars Art LaFleur (Speed Racer), Stacey Hinnen (“Modern Family,” “Monk”), Serah D’Laine (Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough; “General Hospital”), Marcus T. Paulk (Red Tails, “Moesha”) and Dan Benson (“Wizards of Waverly Place.”).

THE RIG hits DVD on OCTOBER 5th. Pre-order your copy right HERE.
