By Last Photograph at TIFF
We got a first look at Zack Snyder’s upcoming film a couple of weeks ago, but plans had yet to be announced on the premiere of the film. Now, an official press release from the Toronto International Film Festival has revealed that The Last Photograph will be making its world premiere at the John Bassett Theatre on Sunday, September 13 at TIFF.
The official press announcement reads,
TIFF announces a special screening of Zack Snyder’s The Last Photograph, which will make its World Premiere at 6:30pm on Sunday, September 13, in the John Bassett Theatre, TIFF’s new screening venue at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Starring Stuart Martin (Army of Thieves) and Fra Free (Hawkeye), the latest from Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen, Man of Steel) follows an ex-DEA agent seeking revenge in a South American jungle where dangerous terrain and inner demons intermingle. Public tickets go on sale today at 12pm ET.
The Last Photograph
The Last Photograph follows “an ex-DEA operative who must return to the mountains of South America in an effort to find his missing niece and nephew, following the brutal murders of their diplomat parents. Enlisting the help of a washed-up junkie war photographer, the only person to have seen the face of the killers, he sets out, determined to find the children and the truth, but soon learns he must also face the ghosts of his past. Their journey into the unknown takes them further and further away from civilization, bringing into question everything they believe, while slowly eroding the distinction between real and surreal.“
“The idea of taking camera in hand and simply making a movie in an intimate way is very appealing to me,” said Snyder. “The Last Photograph is a meditation of life and death, embodying some of the trials that I have experienced in my own life and the exploration of those ideas through image making.“
The production had kicked off a couple of months ago and is scheduled to shoot through November in Iceland, Colombia, and Los Angeles. Snyder will direct from a screenplay by Kurt Johnstad, and Snyder also has a story by credit. Hans Zimmer, Steven Doar, and Omer Benyamin will score the film.
Snyder has wanted to make this film for years. Christian Bale and Sean Penn were even attached to star at one point, but a bigger project always got in the way. At long last, the time is finally right, and Snyder is ready to move forward.
