If you are a fan of Michael Douglas then you will be delighted to hear that July is going to be a busy month for him. Not only will he be starring in Marvel blockbuster Ant-Man, but he will also be in new thriller Beyond the Reach.
Beyond The Reach
And Beyond the Reach is the movie that we are focusing on today as we have two terrific new clips from the film to share with you:
Beyond The Reach is a big screen adaptation of the novel by Robb White and see Jean-Baptiste Leonetti in the director's chair, while Stephen Susco has penned the screenplay.
This is only the second feature film of Leonetti's directing career and comes four years after he made his debut with Carre blanc - he also has some short projects under his belt.
Douglas is set to take on the central role of Madec and is joined on the cast list by Jeremy Irvine, who continues to make a name for himself. This is the first time that the two actors have joined forces. Ronny Cox and Hanna Mangan Lawrence completed the line-up.
Ben is a young tracker living in the southwest with his girlfriend Laina. When she leaves for college on a scholarship, Ben makes the difficult choice to remain behind, a decision that he will come to regret.
Madec is a rich, powerful international businessman, who is hunting for a bighorn to add to his trophy collection. He hires Ben as his guide through the Reach, a vast and hostile desert basin. The hunt goes tragically wrong as Madec, too eager for a kill, pulls the trigger quickly, and accidentally kills an old prospector. Attempting to cover up his crime, Madec tries to bribe Ben to dispose of the body and forget the incident, but Ben staunchly refuses to play along. Now, Madec must eliminate his only witness. He turns on Ben, sending him into the desert without clothing, food or water.
In a sadistic game of cat and mouse, Madec stalks Ben with his weapons and massive six-wheel-drive Mercedes truck. Ben becomes the target of Madec's fiendish mind. Ben uses his survival skills and his knowledge of the Reach to challenge Madec at his own game in an attempt to bring him to justice.
Beyond the Reach is released 31st July.
