Vision Films Inc. has announced they'll soon be releasing Guy Bleyaert’s genre-crossing zombie film, Transit 17, to VOD and DVD. The film's trailer has also been released, which is oddly completely devoid of zombies. Regardless, you can watch it below.
Transit 17 takes place after a virus infects multiple European countries and a team of resistance soldiers fight to save a young girl who seems to be their last hope for a cure.
After Europe is hit with a virus which infected 60 million people, General Ratzinger (Jean-Paul Van der Velde) and his military aim to control the survivors hidden in secret outputs known as “transits.”Lead by the Commander (Silvio Simac), his “sniffers” continue to look for those who refuse to be confined while insurgents known as the Free Fighters, lead by Vanguard (Christophe VanZandycke), aim to evade and destroy this oppressive military which instead of looking for a cure, continues to kill the infected as they grow in numbers.
Meanwhile, a separate Resistance team composed of Tex (Bleyaert), Eve (Zara Phythian), Brad (Lee Charles), Deena (Kimberly Stahl) and Daniel (Daniel Pala) sets out on a secret operation to find Jen (Maria Melikidze), a 15-year old girl who was infected with the virus but survived. She may be the only hope for a cure which causes The Free Fighters and the Resistance to join together. They will stop at nothing until she is safe and the cure to save mankind is discovered.
"This production was really something special for me. I wanted to give it a certain style with a mixture of sci-fi, action and creatures in the story," says Bleyaert. "I loved having full control over the script and production design, and I really wanted to give it my own touch. That said, I must admit it came with a lot more effort and work for me then expected."
Transit 17 will be released in the United States and Canada across all major streaming platforms and on October 22nd, 2019, and on DVD online and in Walmart stores December 17th, 2019.
