You don’t need a lot of money to make a good movie set in a world after the apocalypse. Sure, having some money helps, but more often than not, it’s all about the characters and story. The film “Remnants” will be working with a $5 million dollar budget, which is more than enough to make a good movie, in my opinion, and the story sure sounds tempting.
From the Electric Film Sales site (via the boys over at Quiet Earth):
Eclectic Film Sales, Inc. is pleased to announce that pre-production has begun on REMNANTS, an exciting sci-fi action-thriller starring Jason Behr (DRAGON WARS, THE GRUDGE), Jena Malone (INTO THE WILD, THE RUINS), and Shane West (WALK TO REMEMBER, DRACULA 2000).
The nuclear apocalypse of World War 3 has ravaged Earth. Now for the few lucky survivors trapped in a rural Texas bomb shelter, life has become a dangerous game of life and death as they battle radiation sickness, hunger, and marauding gangs of violent refugees infected with a strange and terrible nuclear illness.
I like the cast, and I love the idea behind the movie. Then again, I’m one of those guys who enjoyed “Waterworld”, so maybe I’m just predisposed to loving these post-apocalyptic movies, especially ones set in a small location about everyday people trying to cope with a bigger issue i.e. the end of the world as they know it.
