Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg team to tell the story of the BP oil spill that occurred in 2010 and served as a huge environment disaster. In the first trailer for Berg’s Deepwater Horizon, Wahlberg plays Mike Williams, an electronics technician on the infamous Deepwater Horizon rig, which unleashed approximately 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico after an explosion that cost the lives of 11 men. Deepwater had been behind schedule and BP execs were applying pressure to catch up when the disaster occurred.
The trailer for Deepwater Horizon sees Wahlberg at breakfast with his daughter, explaining how offshore drilling works. This tableau is intercut with footage of workers on the rig in the moments leading up to the explosion. We see the crew begin to realize something is off — and then the crew run around in terror after the oil rig explodes.
The film stars Academy Award-nominee Mark Wahlberg (Lone Survivor, The Fighter) alongside Golden Globe-nominee Kurt Russell (Furious 7, The Hateful Eight), Academy Award-nominee John Malkovich (RED, Burn After Reading), Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner), Golden Globe-winner Gina Rodriguez (“Jane the Virgin”), and Academy Award-nominee Kate Hudson (Almost Famous, Nine).
Berg (Lone Survivor, Battleship) is directing the screenplay written by Matthew Sand and Matthew Michael Carnahan (The Kingdom). The screenplay is based upon the 2010 New York Times article Deepwater Horizon’s Final Hours by David Barstow, David Rohde and Stephanie Saul. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, RED) and Mark Vahradian (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, RED) are producing for di Bonaventura Pictures along with Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, David Womark (Life of Pi) for Closest to the Hole and Leverage Entertainment. The film is executive produced by Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King at Participant Media.
Deepwater Horizon is based on the true events that occurred on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, the story chronicles the courage of those who worked on the Deepwater Horizon and the extreme moments of bravery and survival in the face of what would become one of the biggest man-made disasters in world history.
Lionsgate is set to release Deepwater Horizon via its Summit Entertainment label in North America on September 30, 2016.
