Wonderfilm Produced Film “Primal” Starring Nicolas Cage Opens in US Theatres November 8th
08 November 2019 - 12:00AM
via NetworkWire – The Wonderfilm Media Corporation ("Wonderfilm" or
the "Company") (OTCQB: WDRFF), (TSXV: WNDR) a producer of
high-quality feature films and episodic television with
international appeal, announces its latest action feature film,
Primal, starring Nicolas Cage, premieres in US theaters November
8th.
In Primal, Nicolas Cage’s character, Frank
Walsh, is a wild animal capture expert shepherding a freighter
loaded with deadly animals from the Amazon jungle to zoos in the
United States. Onboard is a political assassin being secretly
extradited stateside to face trial. At sea, the assassin kills his
guards and then releases the deadly animal cargo throwing the ship,
crew and passengers into a life and death melee. As hunter becomes
hunted, Nicolas Cage’s character must silence both the prowling
beasts – including a ferocious white Jaguar – and the equally
dangerous human executioner hell-bent on killing everyone onboard
to make good his escape.
Daniel Grodnik, Producer: “Good scripts never go
out of fashion. I first optioned the script that would become
Primal in 1995 so it actually took twenty-three years to get it
into production. Primal is a great, original adventure story that
has an unrelenting core of man against beast and man against man.
Pairing the two themes together is what makes it a standout story
for the screen.”
Wonderfilm’s CEO, Kirk
Shaw: “Originally, Primal had been scheduled to shoot in the
fall of 2017; however, hurricane Maria wiped out
Puerto Rico’s film industry along with much of the island’s
infrastructure. Rather than move the shoot, Daniel Grodnik,
one of Wonderfilm’s founding partners and star Nicolas Cage
demonstrated their tenacity by standing by a commitment to bring
Primal and its related jobs and investment back to the island as
soon as the infrastructure was ready in 2018. The release of this
film truly is a testament to the skill of the island’s talent,
technicians and artisans who were eager to put the hurricane behind
them by proving their industry was up to the challenge.”
Directed by Nick Powell, produced
by Wonderfilm’s Daniel Grodnik, as well
as, Kirk Shaw, Jeff Bowler and Bret Saxon from
Wonderfilm. In addition to Nicolas Cage, Primal
stars Famke Janssen and Kevin Durand.
Primal is the Company’s second US theatrical
release this year from Daniel Grodnik, following the August
premiere of John Travolta in The Fanatic. Wonderfilm and Grodnik
are developing the feature Disturbing The Peace starring Guy Pearce
expected to be released next year. Earlier in 2019, Wonderfilm had
also added a new Partner, Shaun Redick (Get Out, BlacKkKlansman)
who is developing a slate of features for theatrical release. With
its very strong development team, the Company expects to release
several high-profile movies directly into US theaters in 2020.
