[King of Creation]

<strong>[ Film & TV -> Preview ]</strong>

<p>With an article title too good not to steal, <a href="http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/18036">Bloody Disgusting reports</a> on a new post-apocalyptic horror film called <em><strong>Drought </strong></em>which was recently screened at the Edinburgh film festival. Check it out:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span><span>The Works International is partnering with Mann Made Films on <strong>The Drought</strong>, an ecological action horror set in a terrifying post-apocalyptic world. The film will be directed by Lawrence Gough, winner of the Trailblazer Award for emerging talent at this year&rsquo;s Edinburgh Film Festival for his debut feature, <em>Salvage</em>. Colin O&rsquo;Donnell, Gough&rsquo;s long time writing partner, is writing the script. <em>The Drought</em> is set in a near future where the world is plunged into a state of emergency with millions dying of thirst and national infrastructures collapsing. A desperate couple who have avoided the mass exoduses and eked out an existence in their suburban home, head for London in a last-ditch attempt to find the water they badly need to save themselves and their ailing daughter.</span></span></em></p>

<p><span><span>Interesting take on the post-apocalyptic setting. It's not a disaster that triggers it, but rather a gradual decline of society. I'll be looking out for more news about this one.</span></span><em><span><span>
