AV Pictures has secured US and UK deals on sci-fi thriller Scintilla, starring John Lynch, Craig Conway, Antonia Thomas, Jumayan Hunter, Morjana Alaoui and Beth Winslet, says ScreenDaily.
In the film, “An elite team of mercenaries are chosen to carry out a covert operation deep in a former Soviet State. They must first battle the ferocious armed militia at ground level before descending through a maze of tunnels inhabited by dark, menacing creatures. When the team arrives at an underground laboratory they discover the purpose of their mission: A genius scientist has been genetically splicing alien DNA with human and the results of this revolutionary work must be secured. The soldiers must protect and save the specimens whilst avoiding the threats of multiple predators, both human and otherwise.”
Mongrel Media has acquired all rights for North America whilst Metrodome has secured UK.
eOne had previously acquired rights for France, German-speaking Europe, Scandinavia and South Africa.
