Production is underway on Irish horror movie Woken, Variety reports this afternoon, which will be the feature debut of director Alan Friel (director of the 2017 short film Cake).
Erin Kellyman (Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Green Knight) will star alongside Maxine Peake (“Anne,” “Rules of the Game”) in the film, “set on a remote island in the North Sea.”
The film is “set against a post-apocalyptic scenario in which the isle provides a safe haven from a pandemic that has decimated earth. The pic sees the protagonist Anna (Kellyman) wake up pregnant and unable to remember who her husband is. Nor does Anna recognize Helen and Peter who are supposedly helping her get her health back.
“Disbelief in what she is being told leads to a horrible revelation and Anna having to contend with existential issues brought on by man’s destruction of the planet.”
Filming is now underway in Ireland, with the film being produced by Fantastic Films.
