August 12, 2024
creen Rant is proud to present an exclusive first look at the trailer for Blue Fox Entertainment's new drama, Lost on a Mountain in Maine. The film is produced by Sylvester Stallone and will premiere in theaters nationwide on November 1. Based on Donn Fendler's book of the same name, the true story follows Donn, himself, who is separated from his family during a hike in the backwoods of Maine. Caught in the throes of a fast-moving storm, the twelve-year-old must rely on his instincts to survive the nine-day plight.
Lost on a Mountain in Maine is directed by Andrew Boodhoo Kightlinger, who has worked on projects such as Tater Tot & Patton, Destroyer, and Dust of War. In addition to Stallone, Braden Aftergood, Dick Boyce, and Ryan B. Cook serve as producers. Luke David Blumm, Paul Sparks, Caitlin FitzGerald, and Ethan Slater (Wicked) round out the ensemble cast. Check out the official trailer for Lost on a Mountain in Maine below:
Although Lost on a Mountain in Maine doesn't hit theaters until November, there are plenty of thrilling survival movies to watch in the meantime. Life of Pie is an obvious choice for viewers who are looking for another book-to-movie adaptation. While the film takes place at sea and focuses on the psychological impacts of long-term isolation, it, too, follows an adolescent who must endure the harsh conditions of his environment.
Unlike Lost on a Mountain in Maine, Life of Pie is a fictional tale. However, the critically acclaimed 1995 movie, Apollo 13, tells the true story of three astronauts who attempt to make it back to Earth after their spacecraft is damaged. It is based on the book written by astronaut, Jim Lovell, and stars Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton. Apollo 13 has a drastically different backdrop, but it remains one of cinema's most notable docudramas and is a must-watch for fans of the genre.
Backcountry is a lesser-known survival film that was released in 2014. It stars FBI's Missy Peregrym and follows a couple who find themselves lost in the wilderness during a camping trip. The movie is also based on true events, acting as a frightening reminder that anything can happen to anyone. Similar to Lost on a Mountain in Maine, Backcountry pits its main characters against nature's most ruthless elements.
