Uwe Boll’s migrant crisis thriller “Run” is making its market debut in Cannes via Stuttgart-based sales company Kinostar.
Boll just wrapped shooting on his latest pic and unveiled the first images from the production. Shot entirely in the resort town of Baška on the Croatian island of Krk, which doubles for a coastal community in Italy, “Run” follows a group of desperate migrants as they make landfall after a perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea and the impact of their arrival on locals and tourists.

The cast includes Emmy and Tony award winner Amanda Plummer, James Russo, European Film Award winner Ulrich Thomsen, BAFTA winner Barkhad Abdi (“Captain Phillips”), Kristen Renton, Daniel Sauli, Marcus Henderson, Mohammed (Michel) Qissy, Sammy Sheik, Costas Mandylor, Daniela Piperno (“Ferrari”), Ezra Mabengeza and Hannah Balogun.
“It was a real pleasure to work with this extraordinary ensemble cast and the talented crew, and we are working full speed in post production to have a first cut ready to review for the fall festivals,” said Boll, who wrote, directed and produced the film.
Executive producer and Kinostar CEO Michael Roesch added: “From what we saw on the set and in the footage, the movie looks incredible strong, powered by the amazing performances of our cast. We can’t wait to show it to audiences around the world.”
Editor Ethan Maniquis, whose credits include “Sin City,” “From Dusk Till Dawn” and “Machete,” began working on the pic early on with the aim of having a first cut for submission for the fall festivals at the end of June, Roesch said.
Post production on “Run” is being carried out by Tunnel Post in Santa Monica.
