STXfilms is stuffing everyone’s stockings with new character posters (posted below) for Greenland 2: Migration, the highly anticipated sequel starring Gerard Butler (300, Law Abiding Citizen, The Phantom of the Opera) and Morena Baccarin (Deadpool 2, Serenity, Elevation). Ric Roman Waugh (Angel Has Fallen, In the Shadows, Snitch) directs the post-apocalyptic drama from a screenplay written by Mitchell LaFortune (Last Breath, Mission Kandahar) and Chris Sparling (Buried, The Sea of Trees).
What’s Greenland 2: Migration about?
Here’s the official synopsis for Greenland 2: Migration, courtesy of STXfilms:
In the aftermath of a comet strike that decimated most of the Earth, Greenland 2: Migration follows the Garrity family as they’re forced to leave the safety of their bunker in Greenland to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home.
Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin reprise the roles of John and Allison Garrity, with Roman Griffin Davis taking over the role of Nathan Garrity from Roger Dale Floyd. Also in the cast are Amber Rose Revah (The Punisher), Sophie Thompson (Gosford Park), Trond Fausa Aurvåg (The Bothersome Man), and William Abadie (Emily in Paris).
Naturally, the new character posters are precisely what you’d expect. The latest prints feature individual shots of Butler, Baccarin, and Griffin looking hopeful, despite a rain of comets hurtling toward the planet in the background. Optimism. Gotta love it.
How did Greenland 2: Migration get a green light?
