Emma Watson is set to return to the big screen this summer as she stars in new film The Colony.
The Colony
The Colony sees the actress star alongside Daniel Bruhl as they both team up with filmmaker Florian Gallenberger for the first time.
This is the fourth feature film of Gallenberger's career and the first since City of War: The Story of John Rabe back in 2009. As well as being in the director's chair, Gallenberger has also teamed up with Torsten Wenzel to pen the screenplay.
Watson and Bruhl take on the central roles of Lena and Daniel and you can seem them in action in a pair of terrific new clips. Check them out:
Set amidst the Chilean coup of 1973, The Colony begins by depicting the masses who are out on the street, protesting against General Pinochet. Amongst them are Daniel (Brühl) and Lena (Watson), a young couple who, like many others, get arrested by Pinochet's secret police for producing propaganda against the regime.
Following his arrest, Daniel finds himself trapped in a secret interrogation camp located beneath the infamous Colonia Dignidad; a German sect under the leadership of the notorious, charismatic and unflinching Paul Schäfer (Nyqvist).
Presenting itself as a charitable mission, the Colonia is, in fact, a place of brutality and terror that nobody has ever escaped from. Desperate to rescue her boyfriend, Lena infiltrates the cult and witnesses the true darkness of Schäfer's regime before she attempts a dramatic escape that puts both their lives on the line.
The Colony is released in cinemas and on demand on 1st July.
