The Descent: Part 2 – 2nd Trailer


Descent poster 2

With the theatrical release of The Descent: Part 2 fast approaching, Chris and Phil are preparing to review the film in Podcast #23 alongside interviews with its star Shauna Macdonald and director Jon Harris.

In the meantime you can watch the 2nd trailer for the film (below) and don’t forget you can still hear our interview with Natalie Mendoza in Podcast #19.

Trailer #2:

Shauna Macdonald returns as Sarah, continuing the story of 2005’s hugely successful horror thriller The Descent, in which a group of young women disappear during a caving trip in the Appalachian Mountains.

Emerging from the cave system alone, distraught and covered in the blood of her missing companions, Sarah is incoherent and half-wild with fear. Sceptical about her account of events and convinced Sarah’s psychosis hides far darker secrets, Sheriff Vaines (Gavan O’Herlihy) doesn’t waste time. Along with his partner Rios (Krysten Cummings), and their cave rescue team Dan (Douglas Hodge), Greg (Joshua Dallas), and Cath (Anna Skellern), Vaines forces Sarah back into the caves to help the rescuers find her friends.

Alongside Macdonald, The Descent: Part 2 also features Natalie Mendoza reprising her role as Juno. The Descent: Part 2 is written by James McCarthy, J. Blakeson (The Disappearance Of Alice Creed) and James Watkins (Eden Lake). The film is produced by Academy Award® winner Christian Colson (Slumdog Millionaire) and Ivana Mackinnon (The Scouting Book for Boys). Neil Marshall who directed the original film serves as executive producer with Paul Smith. Previously a well-known editor on films including Kick-Ass, Eden Lake, Stardust and Layer Cake, as well as The Descent; Jon Harris makes his debut as director.

The Descent: Part 2 will be released for Pathé Productions Ltd. by Warner Bros. Pictures UK on 4th December 2009.
