The First Trailer For Albert Hughes' Adventure Film ALPHA, Which is Set in The Ice Age
Albert Hughes, the co-director of films such as Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, From Hell and The Book of Eli, which was a solo directing gig, has released the first trailer for his new film adventure Alpha, and it looks... interesting. The story is set in Europe 20,000 years ago during the Ice Age.
While on his first hunt with his tribe’s most elite group, a young man is injured and left for dead. Awakening to find himself broken and alone -- he must learn to survive and navigate the harsh and unforgiving wilderness. Reluctantly taming a lone wolf abandoned by its pack, the pair learn to rely on each other and become unlikely allies, enduring countless dangers and overwhelming odds in order to find their way home before the deadly winter arrives.
The young man's name is Zeta, and he's played by Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road, X-Men: Apocalypse). It's pretty much like an Ice Age version of The Revenant, only it doesn't look as good. Of course, I'll go see the movie, it looks like it could be a good adventure film. Not great, but good.
The full cast includes Natassia Malthe, Leonor Varela, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Mercedes de la Zerda, and Jens Hultén. The movie is set to be released in theaters on March 2nd, 2018. Watch the domestic and international trailers below and let us know what you think.
