"The wilderness is our prison now…" Saban Films has revealed the official trailer for Whiteout, an intense survival thriller film from Canada. The film premiered under the original title Walking Supply instead, showing at one film festival in late 2023, now set for a November release this fall. That original title is a bit clunky and strange, though Whiteout is also too generic and doesn’t tease anything about this story at all. This is the thrilling survival story of three men who escape from a Russian labor camp and must overcome the treacherous wilderness & each other as their journey turns into a brutal fight for survival.

The Story

Four men are brutally kidnapped and taken hostage, ending up in a labor camp in the middle of nowhere. Two hardened inmates, Kurt and Anthony, save Henry from the lecherous grip of another inmate and his henchman. Henry finds himself in a position to help his new associates escape, igniting a chaotic prison break that engulfs the men and the other prisoners. Those who make it out alive will face several days of deadly terrain and grueling obstacles in their journey for survival.

The Film

Whiteout is directed by stuntman/action filmmaker Derek Barnes, making his feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously; plus lots of stunt work before. The screenplay is written by Derek Barnes, James McDougall, and Douglas Nyback. Produced by James Mark, Bruno Marino, and Todd Slater. It premiered at the 2023 Another Hole in the Head Film Festival last year. Saban Films will debut Whiteout in select US theaters + on VOD starting November 22nd, 2024 this fall.

Conclusion

Whiteout is a brutal and intense survival thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. With its gripping storyline, intense action sequences, and impressive performances from its cast, it’s a must-watch for fans of the genre.
