Earlier this year, Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Free Fire, High-Rise, The Meg 2) wrote and directed In the Earth, a micro-budget horror movie that was shot in secrecy during quarantine, marking one of the first fully completed productions during the coronavirus pandemic.
NEON announced this week that the film will premiere at next year's Sundance Film Festival, and the company also shared a short teaser. Watch it below.
"As the world searches for a cure to a disastrous virus, a scientist and park scout venture deep in the forest for a routine equipment run. Through the night, their journey becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness, the forest coming to life around them."
In the Earth stars Joel Fry ("Game of Thrones"), Ellora Torchia (Midsommar), Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake), and BAFTA Award Winner Reece Shearsmith ("Inside No. 9", "Psychoville").
Andy Starke produced for Wheatley and Starke's Rook Films alongside Tom Quinn and Jeff Deutchman who executive produced on behalf of NEON.
"In Ben Wheatley’s rising career of studio tentpole franchises, In The Earth marks a return to his genre roots akin to his groundbreaking Kill List," a previous press release stated.
