Marché du Film: Steve Barker's OUTPOST

Distribution rights for Steve Barker's action-horror movie Outpost are to be offered for sale by ContentFilm PLC at this year's Marché du Film in Cannes, which runs from May 16th to 26th.

As was previously reported here on Twitch, the screenplay for Outpost was written by Rae Brunton. The movie stars Ray Stevenson, Julian Wadham, Richard Brake, Michael Smiley, Enoch Frost, Paul Blair, Julian Rivett, Brett Fancy, and Johnny Meres.

Here's a description of Outpost from ContentFilm's website: "In a seedy bar in a town ravaged by war, mysterious businessman Hunt hires ex-marine D.C. to assemble a crack team of ex-soldiers to protect him on a dangerous journey into no-man's land. To this gang of hardened warriors, battle-worn veterans and borderline criminals killing is just a job - and one they enjoy. ¶ Their mission - to scope out an old military bunker. It should be easy - 48 hours at the most. Lots of cash for little risk. Or so he says... ¶ Once at the outpost, the men make a horrific discovery that turns their mission on its head - the scene of a bloody and gruesome series of experiments, carried out during World War Two. Amid the carnage, they find something even more disturbing - a survivor... ¶ As war rages above ground, and a mysterious enemy emerges from the darkness below, D.C. and his men find themselves trapped in a claustrophobic and terrifying scenario. Their mission is no longer one of safe-guarding - it's one of survival. Together they must discover why Hunt has brought them to the outpost - and what it is that's killing them off, one by one... ¶ OUTPOST is a gut-wrenching, adrenaline-fuelled horror film, with terrifying set pieces and a suffocating, claustrophobic atmosphere. Gory, gruesome, scary and thrilling in equal measure, OUTPOST is a mind-blowing cocktail of Dog Soldiers, Predator and Hostel, that will scare the living sh*t out of you!!!"
