After screening a short promo at the European Film
Market a month ago, TrustNordisk has closed a number of deals on Norwegian
disaster movie THE WAVE.
The film has now been sold to Former
Yugoslavia (Cinemania Group), Israel (Shoval Film Production), Korea (Euro
Communications Pictures) and Latin America (California Filmes) with more
territories currently in negotiation.
The continued flow of sales
underlines the global potential of The
Wave.
Previous announced sales include France (AB
Group), Spain (Key2Media Audiovisual), China (New View TV and Media Group),
Turkey (Medyavizyon), Middle East (Gulf Film), Hong Kong (Sundream Motion
Pictures Limited) and Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam (Rain
Film).
Directed by Roar Uthaug (COLD PREY, 2006 and
ESCAPE, 2012), THE WAVE is based on true events.
80 years
ago, a number of villages in Norway were hit by a huge tsunami when a
mountainside collapsed and caused damage and casualties in the fjords.
Geologists say that it is just a matter of time, when it will happen
again.
Starring Kristoffer Joner (KING OF DEVIL´S
ISLAND, 2010 and ALL THAT MATTERS IS PAST, 2012) and Ane Dahl Torp (PIONEER,
2012 and 1001 GRAMS, 2014) among others, THE WAVE takes its starting point
just prior to the incident in our time and focuses on an experienced
geologist whose worst nightmare is about to come true when the alarm goes off
and the disaster is inevitable. With less than 10 minutes to react, it
becomes a race against time in order to save as many as
possible.
THE WAVE is produced by Martin Sundland and Are Heidenstrøm for Fantefilm Fiksjon in co-production with Fuzz, Filmkraft Invest, Storyline Studios, Film i Väst, Gimpville and Copenhagen Filmfund and Tre Vänner with support from The Norwegian Film Institute and Nordic Film & TV Fond and The Swedish Film Institute.
Nordic distribution through Nordisk Film
Distribution with release currently set for Autumn
2015.
