The New Teaser For BRUTAL Spells In Blood
The new teaser is out for the upcoming mixed-martial arts science fiction action thriller, Brutal. The film stars The Forbidden Kingdom co-star, lead actor and martial artist Morgan Benoit, and former New York Giants player Jeff Hatch making his feature-length screen debut. The film was shot in the summer of 2012 between May and June, and will play for attendees of up to 500 people at the exclusive screening at Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California on November 5, including the film’s cast and crew, prior to it’s pending wide release date lock.
BRUTAL centers on Trevor (Morgan Benoit), abducted from his backyard at the age of fifteen by an unseen alien presence. Forced into nearly two decades of savage fights to the finish against other abductees inside an unearthly mixed martial arts arena, Trevor has evolved from an innocent boy into a brutal fighting machine.
Derek, (Jeff Hatch) an ambulance-chasing lawer, is the latest lab-rat abductee forced to fight Trevor. As the two men exchange ever-increasing beatings over the course of weeeks and months, the brutality of their existence and the true nature of their humanity is slowly revealed.
With elements of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and THE PRISONER, BRUTAL explores through science fiction, allegory and psychological drama, man’s violent nature and our propensity to commit unthinkable acts of violence against each other. Yet through this prism of brutality, our capacity to love one another, even in the worst of circumstances, is celebrated.
