Director Tim Fehlbaum’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller The Colony (formerly known as Tides) will be receiving a theatrical, VOD, and Digital release this Friday, August 27th, and today we’re able to share with you two clips from the movie, which was executive produced by Roland Emmerich. These clips can be seen in the embed above and both are over a minute in length. The first shows a thrilling moment from the film, while the other shows that the Earth is so messed up in this story that people don’t even know what trees are. The clips are followed by the film’s trailer.
Written by Fehlbaum and Mariko Minoguchi, The Colony has the following synopsis:
Cataclysmic conditions on Earth forced a mass exodus to a distant planet. Generations later, a manned mission hurtles back to assess living conditions on the desolate, mostly submerged world. The sole survivor of the expedition is attacked by a violent band of scavengers, themselves locked in battle with a far more sinister foe. Now, mankind’s very survival depends on the bravery and ingenuity of the lone astronaut.
