It’s been far too long since we’ve gotten an update on the DIVIDE front, but that stops here and now; the Xavier Gens-directed thriller has just unveiled a new poster, which you can peep below. Certainly nothing we haven’t seen before, but in this day and age, the image of a hazmat suit is guaranteed to deliver chills all the same. I personally think the image to the right is enough just slap the title underneath Biehn’s mug and you’re golden. Suppose I could always make my own…
We’ve also got an expanded synopsis for you; it’s a long one, so settle in and get cozy…
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, Ashton Holmes, Rosanna Arquette, Courtney B. Vance and of course, Michael Biehn. It will release sometime in 2011. (Hopefully.)
