On Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, the flashes of cameras were twinkling with enthusiasm as the stars and creators of disaster movie EVEREST hit the red carpet for the American premiere of the film.
The film has already enjoyed a successful world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and now it was time to celebrate the movie across the pond also.
Many of EVEREST’s actors were in attendance including Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Jason Clark, John Hawkes and director Baltasar Kormakur to name but a few who all stopped for fans that lined the streets eagerly awaiting a glimpse of the group.
EVERESTÂ tells the story of a climbing expedition on Mount Everest that goes horribly wrong when the crew is hit by a devastating snow storm.
The action adventure also stars Keira Knightley, Robin Wright, Martin Henderson, Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Debicki among others.
Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain, EVEREST documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival.
The ambitious film was shot in a variety of stunning locations including Nepal on the foothills of Everest, the Italian Alps and at Cinecittà Studios in Rome and Pinewood Studios in the U.K.Â
EVEREST will storm into UK cinemas September 18th.Â
