Studiocanal is set to launch Quentin Reynaud’s timely disaster thriller “The Blaze” ahead of its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival.
The film reteams Reynaud with popular French actor Alex Lutz, who headlined the director’s feature debut “Final Set.” Lutz stars alongside revered French actor André Dussolier (“Tell No One”).
“The Blaze” follows Simon and his father Joseph who embark on a race-against-the-clock to escape a wildfire.
The first-look image features Simon and Joseph who must leave everything behind to escape their coastal region alongside multiple evacuees who are fighting to survive.
The film was shot in France’s tree-covered southwest region where thousands of hectares were destroyed by wildfires this summer, but Quentin Reynaud told Variety that the movie wrapped shooting a year ago.
“I grew up in this beautiful region and I know every corner of it. It has a very dense landscape with a strong local culture,...
