So what do you get when you combine director Jonny Campbell, of the hilarious sci-fi satire Alien Autopsy, and Jurassic Park/Jurassic World: Rebirth screenwriter David Koepp? You get Cold Storage, and rather than aliens or dinosaurs escaping and running wild, it’s a mutant fungus.
Cold Storage stars a pretty cool trio: Stranger Things’ Joe Keery, Barbarian‘s Georgina Campbell, and Liam Neeson. Yep, Liam Neeson, who can be seen right now in The Naked Gun. The new trailer is giving serious retro B-movie sci-fi vibes with a dash of creature feature fun.
Also in the cast are Sosie Bacon (Smile), with Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), with Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread).
SYNOPSIS: Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility’s inhabitants – human and otherwise.
With time running out, it’s down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled retired bioterror operative (Neeson), to contain the merciless menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself.
Samuel Goldwyn Films and Studio Canal will release Cold Storage in theaters this year.
