Laurence Fishburne Heads Towards The Colony

Cannibal thriller with Kevin ZegersIf you discover that the idea of cannibals inside a snowy, advanced landscape dredges up unhappy reminiscences of Highlander: The Origin, there's hope available. Just like a employee at Rekall, Laurence Fishburne will replace that memory for you personally, as he works out for that Colony, that is nearly to begin shooting in Toronto.It is a sci-fi thriller about several ragged children trying to sit down out an ice age, while fending off attacks from feral cannibals. Believe that bit within the Road with Garret Dillahunt, then reimagine it as being a sci-fi comic, and you'll have something. Oh, wait, this is the Book Of Eli.Fishburne's specific role has not occurred obvious, but it is searching likely that he'll be became a member of in the publish-apocalyptic hobbies by Kevin Zegers (Wrong Turn, Transamerica, Frozen).The director is Shaun Renfroe, who formerly made the horror mystery Some Point with Udo Kier, Lance Henriksen and Bruce Payne, and edited the completely wonderful Anvil. Renfroe can also be certainly one of four credited authors around the film, others being Patrick Tarr (a collection dresser and production designer by trade, that has copious writing credits on TV's Murdoch Mysteries), and Pascal Trottier and Svet Rouskov, each of whom are moving up to and including full-featured after several short films.Toronto's Alcina PIctures is behind the project, that is being referred to being an indie, but has handled a not uncommon budget of $16m. If shooting goes based on plan, The Colony ought to be within the can through the finish of March.
