SKYWATCH ANNOUNCEMENTA film about the real-life threat of a tidal wave hitting London will begin shooting in the capital in the spring. The Flood has echoes of The Day After Tomorrow
Feb 22, 2006
The Flood tells the story of what would happen if the city's dam defences were breached and is based on research that suggests global warming could cause the Thames to rise to catastrophic levels.
The £16 million movie stars Robert Carlyle, Joanne Whalley, David Suchet and Tom Courtenay and is tipped for release early next year.
It is the first feature by director Tony Mitchell, whose credits include BBC disaster drama Supervolcano, about the global fall-out if the volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park in America erupted.
