We’ve got our hands on three preview clips of Salt and Fire, the upcoming eco-thriller movie directed by Werner Herzog:

Salt and Fire – Prophets and birds

Salt and Fire – Nice meeting you again

Salt and Fire -RicePlot synopsis:
“The United Nations has sent a scientific delegation, led by researchers Laura (Veronica Ferres) and Fabio (Gael García Bernal), to investigate rare South American geological formations. But as soon as they land, the crew is kidnapped by minions of rogue businessman Matt Riley (Michael Shannon), who has his own agenda when it comes to environmental protection. Deep inside his compound, Laura becomes separated from her fellow explorers and drawn deeper into Riley’s world, but try as she might, she can’t predict his final plan.”

The dancing spoon was cute, lol!

Release date: April 4, 2017 (on VOD).

There’s a brand new trailer for Salt and Fire, the upcoming eco-thriller movie directed by Werner Herzog and starring Michael Shannon, Gael Garcia Bernal, and Veronica Ferres:

SALT AND FIRE

A film by Werner Herzog.

Plot synopsis:
“The United Nations has sent a scientific delegation, led by researchers Laura (Veronica Ferres) and Fabio (Gael García Bernal), to investigate rare South American geological formations. But as soon as they land, the crew is kidnapped by minions of rogue businessman Matt Riley (Michael Shannon), who has his own agenda when it comes to environmental protection. Deep inside his compound, Laura becomes separated from her fellow explorers and drawn deeper into Riley’s world, but try as she might, she can’t predict his final plan.”

The trailer isn’t really exciting, but I’d still give the film a try, if only because it’s starring Michael Shannon. And you?

The release date of Salt and Fire is set to April 4, 2017 (on VOD).

Take a look to the French poster of Salt and Fire, the upcoming eco-thriller movie directed by Werner Herzog:

Why are Veronica Ferres and Michael Shannon wearing the same colors?

Check out the first official trailer of Salt and Fire, the upcoming eco-thriller movie directed by Werner Herzog based on a short story by Tom Bissell and starring Michael Shannon, Gael Garcia Bernal, Veronica Ferres, and Werner Herzog:

SALT AND FIREPlot synopsis:

Deep inside his compound, Laura becomes separated from her fellow explorers and drawn deeper into Riley’s world, but try as she might, she can’t predict his final plan.”

The trailer may look enticing, and the cast can boast Michael Shannon and Gael Garcia Bernal, but early reviews of the film aren’t that flattering… So don’t get your hopes up too high for this one.

The film still has to get an official U.S. release date, but it will hit German theaters on November 17, 2016.

I’ve just spotted those pictures of Salt and Fire, the upcoming eco-thriller movie directed by German Filmmaker Werner Herzog based on a short story by Tom Bissell and starring Michael Shannon, Gael Garcia Bernal, Veronica Ferres, and Werner Herzog:

Sometimes redemption is out of reach.

To better understand why there’s volcano on that poster, here’s a second plot synopsis with more details:

“A scientist blames the head of a large company for an ecological disaster in South America. But when a volcano begins to show signs of erupting, they must unite to avoid a disaster.

Anyway, who do you prefer: Michael Shannon or Gael Garcia Bernal? Why?

The film has yet to get an official US release date, but it will open in German theaters on November 17, 2016.

Update – A new plot synopsis:

Plot:
“Just thirty hours ago, Professor Laura Sommerfeld (Veronica Ferres) and her scientist colleagues (Gael Garcial Bernal and Volker Michalowski) were en route to South America to survey the volcanic Diablo Blanco disaster zone on behalf of the United Nations.
Now, she has been detained, handcuffed, and secreted away to an unknown location under armed guard and the unblinking eye of a pillaging corporate imperialist (Michael Shannon) and a terrifyingly withdrawn, wheelchair-bound, machine gun-toting nihilist (noted cosmologist and theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss in his acting debut).
Soon, Laura will find herself quite literally at the center of the ecological and political fallout of Diablo Blanco: abandoned and forced to survive with limited provisions in a mysterious and rapidly expanding man-made desert that could one day overrun the world.”
