STX Entertainment has released the first official trailer for their upcoming disaster thriller Greenland, which was directed by Ric Roman Waugh (Angel Has Fallen; Shot Caller) and stars Gerard Butler (Angel Has Fallen; 300) and Primetime Emmy-nominee Morena Baccarin (Deadpool 2; Gotham) in the lead roles.
The film's plot is fairly straight forward as a man named John Garrity (Butler) is forced to find a way to protect his family after a comet drops down on Earth, completely leveling some of our planet's biggest cities in the process. Their journey will ultimately lead them toward a possible safe haven, but actually getting there will be much easier said than done.
Greenland was initially announced back in 2018 with Neill Blomkamp (District 9; Elysium) directing and Chris Evans (Avengers: Endgame; Captain America) starring, but that iteration was scrapped in early 2019 when Blomkamp exited the project.
In addition to Butler and Baccarin, the supporting cast consists of Scott Glenn (Daredevil; The Bourne Ultimatum), Andrew Bachelor (Coffee & Kareem; When We First Met), David Denman (Power Rangers; The Office), Gary Weeks (Spider-Man: Homecoming; Jurassic World) and newcomer Roger Dale Floyd (Doctor Sleep; Stargirl).
While its release date is subject to change due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it's currently slated to open in theaters worldwide on June 12.
A family struggles to survive when a comet rages against the earth. John Garrity (Gerard Butler), his separated wife Allison (Morena Baccarin) and son Nathan embark on a perilous journey to their only hope of safety. While several cities around the world are leveled with the earth from the comet's fragments, the family experiences the best and worst humanity can offer, while battling the growing panic and lawlessness around them. As the countdown to the global apocalypse approaches zero, their last chance is a desperate flight to a possible safe haven.
