Vertical has acquired North American rights to the sci-fi action thriller Osiris, Variety reports.
It follows a team of Special Forces commandos in the middle of an operation who are abducted by a mysterious spacecraft. When they wake up aboard the ship, they quickly discover they are being hunted by a merciless alien race.
William Kaufman (The Hit List) directs from a script he co-wrote with Paul Reichelt. Todd Masters (Sinister, Slither) handled the special effects.
Max Martini (Pacific Rim), Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool), LaMonica Garrett (“Arrow”), Linds Edwards (“The Walking Dead”), and Linda Hamilton (Terminator 2: Judgment Day).
“Working with Max Martini for a second time, Linda Hamilton, Brianna Hildebrand and the legendary creature effects maestro Todd Masters, along with the rest of our exceptional cast and crew, to bring this old-school action sci-fi thriller to life was just incredible,” Kaufman said in a statement.
“We filmed the movie as practically as possible from the aliens, set builds, and stunts – all to stay true to the movies we love. We are thrilled to partner with Vertical to reach a wide audience that will appreciate our approach.”
“William has created a fun and fresh take on the alien thrillers of the ’80s and ’90s we all love,” added Vertical partner Peter Jarowey. “We’re honored to have the legendary Linda Hamilton be a part of this visually exciting creature feature and know that fans will turn out for this movie.”
Produced by Roosevelt Film Lab and Denton Film, Osiris is slated for release later this summer.
