WHITEOUT GALLERY
Warner Bros. has released a gallery of images from the Whiteout movie, based on the Oni Press comic by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber.
Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Columbus Short and Tom Skerritt star. The film is directed by Dominic Sena from a screenplay by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber and Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes.
Here's how Warner sets up the film:
"Antarctica...
"The most isolated landmass on Earth
"90° S. latitude, zero E. longitude
"Six million square miles of ice
"Six months of darkness
"Temperatures at minus-120 degrees
"Winds at 100 miles per hour
"Nature never intended you to survive here.
"For U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, things are about to get even more dangerous. The
only law enforcement in this unforgiving territory, she has just been sent to investigate a body on the ice. Antarctica's first homicide. A shocking discovery in itself, it will plunge her into an even more bizarre mystery and the revelation of secrets long-buried under the
endless ice...secrets that someone believes are still worth killing for.
As Stetko races to find the killer before he finds her, winter is already closing in. In the deadly Antarctic whiteout, she won't see him till he's a breath away."
The film is scheduled for a Sept. 11 release.
