Gary Johnstone will direct and James Cameron will produce a 3-D adventure thriller for Rogue Pictures, according to an announcement made by the studio's co-presidents Andrew Karpen and Andrew Rona. Rogue will make the film in collaboration with Cameron's Earthship Productions.
Cameron will produce the film with Andrew Wight. John Garvin penned the script, which involves filming in real caves in Mexico and Papua New Guinea.
In a statement issued by Rogue Pictures, producer James Cameron said, "Earthship is a small guerrilla group that has proven itself capable of efficient production under the most intense conditions anywhere in the world. Expanding its mission statement to include features seemed a natural evolution. We decided to make a gritty, expedition-themed film using the 3-D cameras and techniques that we’ve developed. When we looked for a partner, Rogue seemed the best fit, because they really understood the type of picture we want to make. Plus, they’re genuine fans of film, so they’re fun to work with.”
The film will utilize the 3-D Fusion camera system, developed by Cameron and Vince Pace. Cameron and Pace's system allows the film to be shown in 2-D as well as 3-D theaters.
The Official Synopsis
The story takes place in the breathtaking world of cave diving, one of the last frontiers of exploration remaining on this planet. The film will explore the human mind as well as the underground depths, as the characters are stripped to their most primitive selves after they are trapped and lost deep below sea level. There, a father and son will struggle to survive and come to terms with each other in the most dangerous and unforgiving environment on Earth.
