Dead Woods


Jason Isaacs, Thandie Newton, and David Tennant will star in the psychological thriller Retreat says Screen Daily.

Newton and Isaacs play an estranged couple who head to a remote island getaway in an effort to rebuild their relationship. Tennant plays a dying military officer who arrives on their doorstep with news of a viral pandemic killing millions on the mainland.

Carl Tibbetts will direct for the first time from a script he co-wrote with Janice Hallett.

Producer Gary Sinyor: "It reminded me of Dead Calm when I first read it. Only better.It's got a similar sexual tension but the battle of wits between the characters and plot twists are constantly surprising. We're delighted to have secured three of the UK's most powerful actors."

Hmm...As a big fan of "Calm"-- The Billy Zane character in that film is now played in this flick by the guy who used to be Doctor Who...I am intrigued...

Shooting kicks off this May in Canada.
