Writer/Director Jérémy Clapin, whose 2019 animated debut, I Lost My Body, earned an Academy Award nomination, makes the jump to live-action with the sci-fi thriller Meanwhile on Earth. Today, we have an exclusive clip that sets up violent psychological horror.
Metrograph Pictures releases Meanwhile on Earth in theaters on November 8, 2024.
In the film, “Elsa (Megan Northam, in her debut feature starring role), along with her family, is struggling following the disappearance of her brother Franck, an astronaut who vanished during his first mission. While stargazing one night, Elsa is shocked to receive contact from Franck, but her joy is short-lived when she learns of the dark and troubling forces behind Franck’s reappearance, forcing her to confront the lengths she will go for the brother she once feared was gone forever.”
Sébastien Pouderoux, Catherine Salée, and Dimitri Doré also star.
Watch the clip below, which unleashes a violent chainsaw confrontation in the woods. Or does it? Things are getting weird in the woods and nothing may be as it seems.
Clapin’s sophomore effort was edited by Jean-Christophe Bouzy, Titane and Raw filmmaker Julia Ducournau’s longtime film editor. Robrecht Heyvaert (Revenge) is the film’s cinematographer.
“Jérémy Clapin is a hugely talented filmmaker, and he has created an exciting and inspiring new work of science fiction. Meanwhile on Earth is reminiscent of the best of the genre, combining an innovative, visionary world and compelling supernatural premise with deeply emotional, real-life underpinnings,” Metrograph Pictures head David Laub previously told Deadline about the film’s acquisition.
Meanwhile on Earth is produced by Marc Du Pontavice and executive produced by Luc Bricault.
