Firenado trailer: disaster movie from the makers of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey

A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh and the characters in it lapsed into the public domain at the start of this year, a fact that has allowed director Rhys Frake-Waterfield to make the upcoming horror film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. That movie is set to reaches theatres (though Fathom Events in the US) on February 15th… but before that one arrives, we’ll have the chance to watch a different Frake-Waterfield project. Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired the distribution rights to the disaster movie Firenado, which Frake-Waterfield directed with Scott Jeffrey (Exorcist Vengeance), and they’re planning to give the film a digital release on January 3rd! With that date less than a week away, a trailer for Firenado has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Said to rival the likes of Geostorm and The Day After Tomorrow, Firenado was written by Tom Jolliffe and tells the story of four scientists that uncover a ground-breaking technology capable of controlling weather. On the first use of the device, it malfunctions and creates a Fire Tornado. As the Firenado leaves a wake of destruction, the group assist in evacuating nearby residents but stumble upon into an organized crime home invasion. Stuck between a rock and a hard place; the group struggle to survive the two threats.

The film stars Sian Altman (The Area 51 Incident), Stephen Staley (Dinosaur Hotel), Nicola Wright (The Jack in the Box: Awakening), Daniel Godfrey (Dirty Games), newcomer Leah McInnes, Toby Wynn-Davies (The Ghosts of Borley Rectory), Gordon Joseph Millar (Dragon Knight), Charlie Boyce (Sheep in Fog), and Stuart Falconer (Revenge).

Keith Leopard, the President of Uncork’d Entertainment, provided the following statement: “Scott and Rhys have done it again. Firenado is rip-roaring entertainment! With great effects, wonderful cinematography and some fun performances, it’s a perfect fit for Uncork’d.

Following the January digital release, Firenado will be reaching DVD on February 14th.
