We have an exclusive clip to premiere of Vertical Entertainment's new film Last Sentinel. Coming to theaters and VOD/digital outlets on March 24, the film is set in a dystopian world, decades into the future in the midst of a major war that's been spanning for the past 40 years. The movie follows a remote skeleton crew of soldiers stationed at a remote ocean platform where they've lost all contact with the rest of the world, months after their relief should have arrived. That makes them especially paranoid when a mysterious ship suddenly approaches, as there's not quite sure what to make of it just yet. You can see what we mean by watching the clip below.
The official synopsis for Last Sentinel is as follows:
Surrounded by an endless ocean thousands of miles from home, a skeleton crew of soldiers stand as the last bastion, defending their homeland from an invasion by an enemy they have never seen. Their tour of duty ended 3 months ago with no relief in sight. Alone and uncertain as to what fate awaits them, the simmering tension amongst the crew escalates when a mysterious boat drifts into range, as paranoia grows to test their loyalties.
Last Sentinel is written by Malachi Smyth (The Score) and directed by Tanel Toom (Truth and Justice). The film stars Kate Bosworth (Along for the Ride), Lucien Laviscount (Emily in Paris), Thomas Kretschmann (Infinity Pool), and Martin McCann (The Informer). It is produced by Ben Pullen, Ivo Felt, Jorg Bunschuh, Pippa Cross, and Matthew James Wilkinson. Exec producers include Peter Jarowey, Rich Goldberg, Mitch Budin, Phil Hunt, Compton Ross, Will Clarke, Andy Mayson, Mike Runagall, Carlos Gerstenhauer, Sam Corsellis, William Pullen, Rain Ranny, Raido Toonekurg, Janette Day, Smyth, and Josef Brandmeier.
Last Sentinel Takes Us to a Watery Future
“This film, made with the blood, sweat, and tears of cast and crew, will hopefully win over audiences with its powerful emotional journey and thrill them with its bold, ominous vision of a future earth," Vertical's Peter Jarowey said in a statement ahead of the film's release. "[The movie] does an incredible job of immersing the viewer in the harrowing, desolate conditions of this watch tower that the crew is trapped in yet refuses to abandon. The chaos of being stranded at sea is as terrifying as it is beautiful in its portrayal, and every character delivers the performance of a lifetime.”
Last Sentinel will be released in movie theaters and on VOD on March 24, 2023, via Vertical Entertainment. For another look at the film, you can view the full trailer below.
