“This is going to be really violent.” Yes it definitely looks like it. Signature Entertainment in the UK has revealed an official English-language UK trailer for a sci-fi survival thriller called Survive. The film is from a French filmmaker named Frédéric Jardin, who made the kick ass night club thriller Sleepless Night (2011), which we raved about and promoted years ago. This is his first feature film since then, as he’s been directing TV series instead. A couple celebrates their son’s birthday in the middle of the ocean on their boat. A violent storm hits and brings up hungry creatures from the depths as they fight for their survival. The apocalyptic concept involves the oceans disappearing due to the polarity being reversed, and how the world is massively changed, following one family struggling to survive. Starring Andreas Pietschmann, Émilie Dequenne, Lisa Delamar, and Lucas Ebel. As much as I am usually down for high concept world-rocking sci-fi like this, alas this film does not look very good. It seems that they’ve bit off more than they could chew this time.
Here’s the official UK trailer (+ poster) for Frédéric Jardin’s Survive, direct from Signature’s YouTube:
When the oceans disappear, danger is all that remains on the surface. Julia and her loving husband are celebrating her son’s birthday on their boat in the middle of the ocean, but when a violent storm nearly capsizes them, the family awakens to a suddenly desolate land. Earth has undergone a tragic polarity reversal, draining water from the oceans. After tragedy befalls the family, Julia must save her children in a world where hungry creatures from the abyss have emerged to hunt for fresh flesh. Survive, also known as Survivre in French, is directed by French filmmaker Frédéric Jardin, of the films La Folie Douce, Les Frères Soeur, Cravate Club, and Sleepless Night previously, and the series “Spiral”, “Algiers Confidential”, and “Totems” most recently. The screenplay is written by Alexandre Coquelle & Mathieu Oullion. Produced by Marc-Etienne Schwartz and Marc Stanimirovic. This originally opened in France in June earlier this year, and it will play at FrightFest 2024 in the UK soon. Signature Ent. will debut Jardin’s Survive direct-to-VOD in the UK starting on September 30th, 2024 this fall. No US release is set yet. Anyone interested in this?
