First poster and trailer for Submergence starring James McAvoy and Alicia Vikander

January 30, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Lionsgate has debuted the first trailer and poster for the upcoming romantic thriller Submergence. Directed by Wim Wenders, the film stars James McAvoy, Alicia Vikander, and Alexander Siddig; take a look here…

Submergence is a love story that takes us into the extremely different worlds of our two protagonists, Danielle Flinders (Alicia Vikander) and James More (James McAvoy). They meet by chance in a remote hotel in Normandy where they both prepare for a dangerous mission. They fall in love almost against their will, but soon recognize in each other the love of their lives. When they have to separate, we find out that James works for the British Secret Service. He’s involved in a mission in Somalia to track down a source for suicide bombers infiltrating Europe. Danielle ‘Danny’ Flinders is a bio-mathematician working on a deep sea diving project to support her theory about the origin of life on our planet. Soon, they are worlds apart. James is taken hostage by Jihadist fighters and has no way of contacting Danny, and she has to go down to the bottom of the ocean in her submersible, not even knowing if James is still alive…

Submergence is set for release on April 13th in the US and on May 18th in the UK and features a cast that includes Alex Hafner, Celyn Jones, Harvey Friedman, Audrey Quoturi, Darian Martin, Charlotte Rampling, Florent Paumier, Reda Kateb and Mohammed Hakeemshady.
