The film revolves around a group of young American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities who hide from a U.S. government agency in Hong Kong. They must use their different talents and band together to try to escape the control of the division.
The French graphic novel follows a group of people on a train without a final destination, struggling to survive after the end of the world brings on a cataclysmic ice age.
‘The Iceman’ is the true story of Richard Kuklinski: loving husband, devoted father, ruthless killer. He is believed to have killed more than 250 people between 1954 and 1985.
Jump aboard Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer in this behind-the-scenes video, which shares the first footage from The Host director’s new thriller starring Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Octavia Spencer, Alison Pill, Song Kang-ho, Ewen Bremner and Kenny Doughty.
Based on the French graphic novel “Le Transperceneige,” “Snowpiercer is set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snow Piercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews.” READ MORE
From The Host‘s Bong Joon-ho comes Snowpiercer, a heavily dystopian sci-fi film from Dimension that I’m getting super excited about. These character posters are ok, but it’s the concept that intrigues me the most.

From The Host‘s Bong Joon-ho comes Snowpiercer, a Dimension film we’ve been talking about for quite some time but have seen frustratingly little of. We’ve gotten some concept art, a few stills and some snippets of the score – but it still feels very far off. Now we can add a little bit to the pile – neat promo passports for the cast and crew of the film! They’re pretty cool – but I’m itching for a trailer.
Being sold by the Weinstein Company at the ongoing EFM, the post-apocalyptic thriller stars Captain America‘s Chris Evans, as well as Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Octavia Spencer, Alison Pill, Song Kang-ho, Ewen Bremner and Kenny Doughty.

Made at this year’s AFM, the deal for the multiple territory acquisition of the future-set film was in the seven figures. ”

The film, based on the graphic novel “Le Transperceneige”, “is set in the not too distant future where a new Ice Age has wiped out most of the human race.

The film stars Chris Evans (pictured above), John Hurt, Ed Harris, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell and Ewen Bremner. Weinstein Company will distribute Snow Piercer in North America, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. A summer 2013 release is “likely.”
