20th Century Fox has announced that its survival drama The Mountain Between Us will help relieve you of your holiday gift cards, hitting store shelves on December 26.
Starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba, two of the most accredited actors today, The Mountain Between Us is a survival drama that pits them both against the elements after a tragic plane crash. Sitting atop a snow covered mountain with no food left, the two survivors realize that help isn’t coming. Embarking on a cold and bitter journey across hundreds of miles of wilderness, they will work to uncover the strength they never knew they possessed.
The film premiered amid a “mountain” of buzz at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this year but ultimately achieved only mediocre returns at the box office. Viewers will be able to enjoy a trifecta of bonus features on the home video release: Love and Survival: Creating Chemistry, The Wilds: Survival Stunts and Mountain Between Them: Shooting in Isolation.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
