‘The Quake’ Leaves Cannes Shaking And Disaster Fans Eager For Its August Release

From the producers of the amazing disaster movie The Wave (review) comes The Quake (aka Skjelvet), acquired by Magnolia Pictures at Cannes. Directed by Roar Uthaug, The Wave, which was labeled the first disaster flick from Norway, was not your average, run-of-the-mill disaster film. Instead of focusing on the physical destruction, it focused more on the emotional turmoil the characters were experiencing. It also didn’t hurt that film looked amazing. Screen Daily has reported that the John Andreas Anderson-directed, $6.4 million project was inspired by a real-life event, the earthquake that shook Oslo in 1904 that took the lives of 145 people. The Wave stars Kristoffer Joner, Ane Dahl Torp, Jonas Hoff Oftebro will also be starring in The Quake. Katherine Thorborg Johansen, Edith Haagenrud-Sande, and Ravdeep Singh Bajwa will be co-starring. The Quake will arrive in Norway on August 30, 2018, followed by its US release later this year.

But one scientist, Kristian (Kristoffer Joner) can’t shake the feeling that a disaster is coming. On the day he and his family are set to leave, the unthinkable happens, and the town’s residents only have 10 minutes to flee. The Wave, written by John Kare Raake and Harald Rosenlow-Eeg, was directed

Catch ‘The Wave’ This March

The trailer for the Norwegian disaster film The Wave has not had a lot of media attention yet here in the states yet, but I think it’s a film you should know about. Scientists have warned the residents in the village of Akneset that another tsunami could happen, but no one thought it would happen any time soon. They were wrong. The village is directly in the path of a 85 meter (279 feet) high wave. A geologist and his young daughter are caught in the middle of the of the chaos. The two are trying to escape the danger zone, along with everyone in the village before it’s to late. The Wave was directed by Roar Uthaug and stars Kristoffer Joner, Ane Dahl Torp, Thomas Bo Larsen, Fridtjov Saheim, Jonas Hoff Oftebro, Afrthur Berning, Edith Haagenrud-Sande, Lado Hadzic, Eili Harboe and Herman Bernhoft. The Wave has already been released in Norway and will be released in the U.S. on
