The Quake Rattles Oslo Throughout the Month of December: Release Details

The Quake is an upcoming disaster film, from Norway. A sequel to The Wave (2015), this latest feature looks at how a 5.4 magnitude earthquake would effect Oslo. Taking a note from an actual earthquake in 1904, this film builds on the possible devastation, that would rock this Scandinavian city. The Quake will show this week in the U.S., while Canada follows suit at a later date. This film, from director John Andreas Andersen (King of Devil's Island), stars: Kristoffer Joner (The Revenant), Ane Dahl Torp (The Wave), Hang Tran and many more. Already released in Norway, more North American release details are available here.

This film focuses on the Oslo Rift. Here, a fault line runs deeply. The Quake looks at what might happen here, if a seismic shift took place, shaking the city of Oslo.

Producer Martin Sundland recently spoke of The Quake. At Nordisk Film, Sundland talks about competing in an international film market and what The Quake will bring to audiences: "we cannot compete when it comes to VFX quantity, but we can compete with everything else. In addition, this gives us time to focus more on the characters, on their relations and on the small drama, not just the spectacular scenes...on the other hand we spend more time with the characters, and in a different way than in many American disaster movies." The Quake will be a smaller release, set to show on Digital and select theatres, this month.

On December 14th, The Quake will be available on most Digital platforms. As well, this title is expected to see at least seven U.S. theatres as The Quake shakes audiences. Magnet Releasing will handle the U.S. launch, with more details on a Canadian release coming soon.
