With just a week to go until its release, IFC Films has debuted a new trailer for director Harald Zwart’s upcoming World War II survival thriller The 12th Man which stars Thomas Gullestad, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Mads Sjøgård Pettersen, and Maria Grazia Di Meo; watch it here…
This breathtaking action adventure tells an incredible true-life story of heroism and a man’s unbreakable will to live. Norway, 1943: after a failed anti-Nazi sabotage mission leaves his eleven comrades dead, Norwegian resistance fighter Jan Baalsrud (Thomas Gullestad) finds himself on the run from the Gestapo through the snowbound Arctic reaches of Scandinavia. It’s a harrowing journey across unforgiving, frozen wilderness that will stretch on for months—and force Jan to take extreme action in order to survive. With gut-punching realism and vivid psychological immediacy, director Harold Zwart pays tribute to one man’s extraordinary courage—and to the everyday heroes who helped him along the way.
The 12th Man is set for release on May 4th.
