It’s been a little bit of time since we’ve seen Naomi Watts in a major blockbuster film. However, that doesn’t mean the actress hasn’t been working. In fact, she’s been super busy, with no fewer than four films arriving last year, including the Hulu action film, “Boss Level,” and the festival drama, “Penguin Bloom.” And she’s already got one coming in 2022, with the new feature, “Infinite Storm.”
As seen in the new trailer for “Infinite Storm,” the film tells the story of an experienced climber (Watts) as she finds herself facing a blizzard while ascending Mt. Washington. Things get thrown for a loop when she comes across a stranded man on the mountain and has to attempt to get them both to safety away from the incoming storm. The film is based on a true story that was written in the article “High Places: Footprints in the Snow Lead to an Emotional Rescue,” by writer Ty Gagne.
Joining Watts in the cast are Billy Howle, Denis O’Hare, and Parker Sawyers. The film is directed by Małgorzata Szumowska with a script written by Joshua Rollins.
“Infinite Storm” arrives in theaters on March 25. You can watch the trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
As an experienced climber (Naomi Watts) ascends Mt. Washington, she turns back before she reaches the summit as a huge blizzard approaches. But on her way down, she encounters a lone, stranded man, and takes it upon herself to get them both down the mountain before nightfall arrives and they succumb to the storm. Based on a true story.
