An intense survival story is set to unfold before cameras in the Gateway to South America! Kiana Madeira and Jessica Rothe-starrer action-adventure movie ‘Titan’ will start filming in Colombia on October 7 and conclude on December 6. As announced earlier, Mike P. Nelson is at the helm, directing from a script he wrote with Alan B. McElroy.
‘Titan’ is set against the backdrop of the Curuçá River in Brazil. The plot follows a group of young doctors on a humanitarian mission deep in the Amazon rainforest. However, what begins as an effort to help the local community quickly becomes a nightmare as their presence awakens a formidable ancient predator known as the “Boiúna.” This deadly creature, ruling both the land and the waterways, views the team’s intrusion as a threat to its territory. As the doctors struggle to survive, the lines between the predator and the prey begin to blur, transforming the jungle into a deadly battleground where heroism and survival instincts collide.
Madeira recently starred in the romantic drama ‘After Everything‘ as Nora. The actress’ experience in survival-themed roles is notable, with performances in the ‘Fear Street‘ trilogy as Deena. She also appeared in ‘Level 16,’ in which she portrayed a student uncovering dark secrets at a strict boarding school. Madeira’s affinity for survival horror dates back to ‘Neverknock,’ which revolves around a malevolent creature linked to a local urban legend.
Rothe played June27 in the action film ‘Boy Kills World‘ and May in the drama thriller ‘Body Brokers,’ which exposes a rehab center as a front for a massive fraud operation exploiting addicts. Currently, the actress is working on two other projects: ‘Affection,’ which follows a woman struggling with a condition that erases her memory and disrupts her sense of reality, and ‘Pulse,’ a Netflix medical drama.
Mike P. Nelson’s recent work includes ‘V/H/S/85,’ a found-footage film that weaves together five chilling horror stories set in the dark side of the 1980s. He also directed the survival horror film ‘Wrong Turn,’ in which a group of friends hiking the Appalachian Trail encounter The Foundation, a mysterious community that has lived isolated in the mountains for centuries.
Colombia has long been a popular location for survival-themed stories. Recent films shot there include ‘Freelance‘ and ‘Jungle,’ both of which share thematic elements with ‘Titan.’
