Whether you love his films or can’t stand them, you can’t say that the man making them isn’t a workhorse. Postal and House of the Dead director Uwe Boll is now shooting his 18th movie, a horror/thriller titled The Storm, in Vancouver. The picture stars Luke Perry (Beverly Hills 90210), Lauren Holly (Picket Fences) and Steve Basic (Andromeda) and if you’re first thought was “I don’t remember a video game called The Storm,” that’s because Boll’s new movie is not based on a video game.
The Storm centers on a couple named Tom (Basic) and Gillian (Holly). The two own a farm and have just weathered a devastating storm that’s brought upheaval to their property. As they prepare for the clean-up, a stranger named Silas (Perry) comes to their doorstep and asks for shelter. What happens next is being kept a secret but the production told us “Silas may be the only one who can help Tom, Gillian and their young son survive. But as the family comes to terms with what they have lost in the storm, they are threatened by a danger that could prove even more catastrophic than the forces of nature.” So is there a threat from the supernatural or from some psychotic human? I can’t tell you but I’m hoping that a future set visit may reveal some of the mystery.
“The Storm is action-packed, suspenseful, and scary,” said producer Shawn Williamson, a longtime business and producing partner on numerous Boll movies. “We’re glad to have Uwe at the helm and we are very excited about this cast: the Silas role is an interesting departure for Luke and Lauren is a sensational Gillian.”
Boll has also got two completed films in the can and awaiting release: an adaptation of Far Cry, based on the UbiSoft video game of the same name, and Stoic, a gritty drama set in prison and starring Terminator 2’s Edward Furlong. MovieSet is hoping on taking a visit to the set of The Storm shortly and when we do you’ll be the first to find out more about this thriller.
