SPI International has secured the rights for "Arcadian" the Nicolas Cage-starring horror movie in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Benelux, and Israel. The film was recently released in theatres in Hungary. SPI continues its partnership with Hungarian film distributor ADS,: the companies assure that more theatrical releases in other territories will be announced soon. Produced by Saturn Films, “Arcadian” features worldwide star Nicolas Cage, known from such blockbusters as “Face/Off”, “Ghost Rider”, “Lord of War” and “National Treasure”.
“Arcadian” is set in the near future, where normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paul (Nicolas Cage) and his two sons, Thomas and Joseph, have been living a half-life – tranquility by day and torment by night. When the sun sets, ferocious creatures of the night awaken and consume all living souls in their path. One day, Thomas doesn't return home on time from a visit to his crush, the nearby farm girl, Charlotte. Paul chooses to leave the safety of their fortified farm, risking his life, to find Thomas before the creatures arrive. Just as he finds his boy, a nightmarish battle ensues, and Paul is nearly killed by the creatures. Back at the house, Joseph is scared and all alone to defend himself against the nightly attack. He succeeds by outsmarting the creatures, even capturing one as he survives the night. At dawn Joseph goes out and finds his brother with their badly injured father. Now the twins devise a desperate plan for surviving the coming night. Thomas and Joseph together use their courage, ingenuity, and everything their father has taught them to keep him alive.
Alexandra Puiu, Sales Manager at SPI International expressed the idea of showcasing the film in other territories soon: “We are excited to bring 'Arcadian' to audiences throughout our territories. The film is an exercise in high tension that deserves to be seen on the big screen. We are pleased to continue our partnership with ADS for the theatrical release of the movie in Hungary and looking forward to showcasing it in our other territories;" commented.
