Just before Halloween hit back in October we learned that Dark Sky Films had picked up Tom Hammock’s post-apocalyptic thriller THE WELL, and now we’re here with a trailer that delivers plenty of new footage, giving us an even better look at the dried up world Hammock has created in which it has been a decade since the last rainfall. Starring Haley Lu Richardson in a breakout role as a young woman with grit, smarts, and an incredible will to survive, THE WELL looks like a solid entry in the post-apocalyptic genre, one that will hopefully have a release date soon. Check out the international trailer below!
The synopsis:
At the edge of an expansive barren valley, all that remains of The Wallace Farm for Wayward Youth is a few hollowed-out husks of buildings. Seventeen-year-old Kendal (Haley Lu Richardson) can barely recall when the Oregon valley was still lush.
It’s been a decade since the last rainfall, and society at large has dried up and blown away. Kendal and the few others that remain barely scrape by, while dreaming of escape. When a greedy water baron lays claim to what little of the precious resource remains underground, Kendal must decide whether to run and hide or bravely fight for the few cherished people and things she has left.
THE WELL stars Haley Lu Richardson, Booboo Stewart (Twilight), Jon Gries (Taken), Nicole Fox (“America’s Next Top Model”), Michael McCartney (The Amazing Spider-Man), Michael Welch (Twilight), Rena Owen, Max Charles (The Amazing Spider-Man), Jacqueline Emerson (The Hunger Games), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator), and Michael Massee (Seven).
