The film is directed by Joe Penna and stars Mads Mikkelsen as a man stranded in the Arctic who must decide whether to remain in the relative safety of his camp or embark on a deadly trek through the unknown for potential salvation. Penna also co-wrote the screenplay with Ryan Morrison. Chris Lemole & Tim Zajaros (Mudbound, Zombeavers) and Noah C. Haeussner are producing the Armory Films, Union Entertainment Group and Pegasus Pictures production. Arctic is expected to premiere in 2018.
Trapanese (Oblivion, Straight Outta Compton, Insurgent, Only the Brave) also has the USA drama Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G., as well as the Amazon original series Jean-Claude Van Johnson coming up. His upcoming feature projects also include the indie drama Sprinter written and directed by Storm Saulter and starring David Alan Grier. The movie revolves around a 17-year-old Rastafarian teenager and track athlete whose goal is to qualify for the national youth team and go to the World Youth Championships in Philadelphia. The Overbrook Entertainment production is also expected to premiere in 2018.
Loved his Oblivion score. I listen to it all the time.
