The First Trailer for Somnus will Wake Your Curiousity

Early production on Somnus was started in 2013. Since then, the film has been completed and it is set to show in Cannes, this year. From director Chris Reading, the film blends horror with science fiction as one crew's shipping mission goes very wrong. The film stars: Rohit Gokani, Victoria Oliver, Tom Bonington and Klemens Koehring. As well, Epic Pictures has picked up the film as a sales agent (Variety) and the film is expected to release later this year. The film's first trailer is hosted here.

The story is a mysterious one. A commercial vessel changes its course and sets its sail for the remote colony Somnus. This burgeoning settlement has a dark past, which could effect all of mankind.

The word Somnus has its roots in Latin. Responsible for words like insomnia, the word means sleepiness. Also, the Roman god of sleep was named Somnus. So, the film's themes will deal with some sort of awakening, or possibly the opposite. With conjecture aside, the film will incite further curiousity as it nears a release date.
