Some quick distribution news is coming in as Tribeca Film has announced that it has picked up the North American rights for Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego’s new film, Open Grave starring Sharlto Copley. Read on for details.
Open Grave will premiere at the prestigious international genre festival Sitges Film Festival in Spain this month before its December day and date release in the U.S. via Tribeca Film. The film had its world premiere at the MotelX Festival in Portugal this past September.
Thomas Kretschmann, Josie Ho, Joseph Morgan, Erin Richards, and Max Wrottesley also star. The film is produced by William Green and Aaron L. Ginsburg of Atlas Independent, Michael B. Wunderman, and in association with 852 Films.
“This highly original thriller by Spanish helmer Gonzalo López-Gallego is as full of mystery and suspense as it is of bodies and terror. Anchored by a sterling performance from Sharlto Copley, Open Grave is an exhilarating journey that leaves us breathless until the very end,” said Geoff Gilmore, Chief Creative Officer of Tribeca Enterprises.
“Tribeca Film understands the dynamics of independent filmmaking; they appreciate unique storytelling and support emerging talent,” said Atlas producer Green. “Gonzalo López-Gallego’s Open Grave is a film with a distinct point of view so Tribeca Film was the perfect choice to champion the project alongside us at Atlas Independent.”
Synopsis
The high-concept Open Grave follows a man (Copley) who wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that’s more vicious than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together — before it’s too late.
