John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent Brooklyn-based Roller Coaster Road Productions, best known for its documentaries (“History of Food”), has joined Paris’ Mad Films to develop one of the most singular titles hitting the market at this week’s Frontières Market at Fantasia: “High Pressure,” a literally immersive live action underwater survival thriller with a VR viewership option for key scenes.
The producers have initiated talks for James Marsden (“X-Men”) to star in the film. Paris-based Alba Films (“Daisy Quokka,” “The Wishmas Tree”) will handle the film’s theatrical distribution in France.
Two-and-a-half minutes of an animated revisualisation of the movie will be presented at Frontières. Set to be directed by Mad Films CEO Jean Mach and Nicolas Albany, co-helmers of the virtual world-themed “8th Wonderland,” a Fantasia 2008 best screenplay audience award winner, “High Pressure” sports the log line: “Two brothers.
80 meters down. 24 hours of oxygen.” Written by Mach, it turns on the Sallinger twin brothers, James and Dominique, media rock legends and a police obsession for pulling off daring, nonchalant heists and burglaries, before retreating to a decompression sphere hanging from an underwater cliff 80 meters down in the ocean somewhere off the American coast.
