In the span of a single day, the town of Silverton is ravaged by
an unprecedented onslaught of tornadoes. The entire town is at the mercy of the
erratic and deadly cyclones, even as storm trackers predict the worst is yet to
come. Most people seek shelter, while others run towards the vortex, testing
how far a storm chaser will go for that once-in-a-lifetime shot.
Told through the eyes and lenses of professional storm chasers,
thrill-seeking amateurs, and courageous townspeople, “Black Sky” throws you
directly into the eye of the storm to experience Mother Nature at her most
extreme.
Quale is directing the film from a screenplay by John Swetnam.
The executive producers are
Dave Neustadter and Walter Hamada.
The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of
photography Brian Pearson (“Final Destination 5,” “Drive Angry”), production
designer David Sandefur (“Final Destination 5,” “Journey to the Center of the
Earth”) and costume designer Kimberly Adams (associate costume designer the
“Chronicles of Narnia” films).
Filming began in Michigan, where the entire movie will be shot
on location, with some scenes accomplished on local soundstages.
A New Line Cinema production, “Black Sky” will be distributed by
Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
