The first trailer for the new Australian-shot Netflix thriller Apex has dropped today.
Shot on location in New South Wales, including the Blue Mountains, the film follows Oscar-winner Charlize Theron “as a grieving woman seeking solace in the Australian wilderness, only to find herself in a white-knuckle fight for survival against a ruthless predator”, played by Golden Globe-winning actor, Taron Egerton.
The film, directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest), also stars Australian legend Eric Bana and is set for global release on April 24th. Check out the trailer below.
So, what’s your pick? A lengthy epic, a short burst of speed, or a tactical annoyance? Apex is set to debut globally on Netflix on April 24.
“Working in the rugged, beautiful terrains of Australia with three of the world’s most talented, dedicated actors in Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana is such a joy — even as I put them through the [ringer] in this unique survivor story,” Kormákur said last year ahead of production.
“For a film like ‘Apex’ — where the elements and the terrain are characters that loom just as large as the movie stars battling in it — no other country in the world could have taken the place of Australia as our primary location,” Kormákur said. “The unrivalled landscape, studio facilities, and talented crews in New South Wales have been a boon to this production. I want to thank the people of NSW, the NSW government, and the Australian Government’s Location Offset for all the support we’ve received in making this journey possible.”
“Apex” is produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready for Chernin Entertainment; Ian Bryce for Ian Bryce Productions; Theron, Beth Kono, and A.J. Dix for Secret Menu; and Kormákur for RVK Studios. The film is executive-produced by Ray Angelic, Will McCance, and Dawn Olmstead for Secret Menu.
