Photos Movie Eli Roth about 12 years agoby

Here is our first look at some photos from the upcoming earthquake movie, Aftershock, thanks to /Film. Eli Roth (Hostel, Inglourious Basterds) presents and co-stars in the disaster flick directed by Chilean filmmaker Nicolás López.

Aftershock is "an English-language action-thriller inspired by the Chilean earthquake that follows a group of six friends (including Roth, several international movie stars and a cameo by pop superstar Selena Gomez) struggling to survive after a massive earthquake hits their city and society crumbles around them. Most of the film will include realistic, practical effects." The film is still shooting in Chile.

The film has been picked up for distribution in 17 countries, according to Screendaily. North American distribution has not been completed but is likely to be done when the film is completed later this year. López revealed that he is expecting the kind of release Roth’s last producing effort, The Last Exorcism, got. He also states that the pair hope to keep making internationally viable movies like this, in Chile.

The script was co-written by López, Roth, and Guillermo Amoedo. The cast also includes Ariel Levy, Nicolás Martínez, Lorenza Izzo, Andrea Osvart, and Natasha Yarovenko, most of whom are major stars in various parts of the world. This looks and sounds like a cool movie to me. Check out the images below, and see for yourself!
