Described as a “neo-noir action thriller,” the next movie from director David Hackl (Saw V) is titled Solar Storm, and Variety brings us the first word about the project this week.
Jack Hudson (“The Devil’s Train”) and Lorena Andrea (“Warrior Nun”) will star.
“Unfolding over a single catastrophic day, Solar Storm follows Joe (Hudson), an ex-convict fighting to leave his past behind, whose path collides with Jasmine (Andrea), a woman desperate to escape a brutal marriage. When the largest solar storm in recorded history knocks out power, communications and order across the city, blackouts spiral into looting and riots.
“As the line between predator and prey burns away, the two go on the run through 24 hours of darkness — hunted by forces that may prove more dangerous than the storm overhead.”
The cast will also include Massi Furlan (“Jumanji: The Next Level”), Valerie Huber (“Whiskey Cavalier”) and Werner Daehn (“The Lives of Others”).
Joe Rabl wrote the screenplay for Solar Storm.
“I wrote Solar Storm as a pure pressure cooker,” writer Joe Rabl tells Variety in a statement. “One day. No power. No rules. Two people who need each other to survive. The storm outside is nothing compared to what’s happening inside these characters.”
