EXCLUSIVE: Here’s your first look at hippo thriller Hungry, starring Madison Davenport (Sharp Objects).
The pic centers on a group of holidaymakers who must fight for their lives against a rampaging hippo after becoming lost in the Louisiana swamplands.
Davenport stars with Joaquim de Almeida (Road House), Tracey Bonner (The Exorcism), Jim Meskimen (Apollo 13), Samantha Coughlan (Damage), Olivia Bernstone (Mood) Michel Curiel (She Hulk: Attorney At Law) and River Codack (Under the Bridge).
The film is written and directed by James Nunn (One Shot trilogy), produced by Ben Jacques (One Shot trilogy) and executive-produced by Signature Films’ CEO Marc Goldberg and Head of Production & Development Sarah Gabriel (Riff Raff, Trap House). Capture will continue sales at this week’s European Film Market.
Said Ella Field, EVP International Sales at Capture: “We are beyond excited to introduce a new animal apex killer to the film market, one that has been overlooked and underestimated despite its colossal stature and its ferocity. A new — very real — fear will be unlocked for all those attending the screening.”
