Clay Epstein’s Film Mode Entertainment announces the Cannes International Market Premiere of first-look footage and stills of the sci-fi action film OCCUPATION: RAINFALL, the sequel to the highly successful OCCUPATION.

Clay Epstein of Film Mode Entertainment, who also sold the first film into the international market says – “We are extremely excited about the follow up to what has already proven to be a huge success all over the world. This is a testament not only to Luke’s talent as a filmmaker but also to audiences’ hunger for entertaining and well-produced films. With even bigger F/X and more at stake on the screen, Occupation: Rainfall is conquering the marketplace.”

Sales on OCCUPATION: RAINFALL thus far include Smile for Scandinavia, Paradise for CIS, Fox Network for Pan Asian Pay Television, Scene & Sound for South Korea, Eagle Films for Middle East, and Moviecloud for Taiwan.

OCCUPATION was the Australian Screen Industry Network’s Best Feature Film winner, and OCCUPATION: RAINFALL promises even more visual effects and extraordinary postproduction than the first film. World-renowned VFX artists, whose credits include Godzilla, The Martian and Game of Thrones, are at the helm of the Sci-Fi action adventure sequel.

Currently in production, director LUKE SPARKE returns to take the sequel to the next level.

“This film will be exponentially larger in scale and ambition than the original,” said SPARKE, who promises over 1,500 visual effects shots to entice fans across the globe.

In addition to OCCUPATION’s gifted ensemble cast, KEN JEONG (CRAZY RICH ASIANS, THE HANGOVER) has come onboard to play a character who holds the key to the mystery of the rainfall.

JEONG and DANIEL GILLIES (The Originals, Vampire Diaries) join OCCUPATION’s TEMUERA MORRISON (AQUAMAN), DAN EWING, AARON JEFFERY (X-MEN ORIGIN: WOLVERINE), ZAC GARRED, CHARLES MESURE (Desperate Housewives), and TRYSTAN GO.

OCCUPATION: RAINFALL occurs two years into an intergalactic invasion of earth, while survivors fight back in a desperate ground war. As casualties mount by the day, the resistance and their unexpected allies uncover a plot that could see the war come to a decisive end. With the alien invaders hell-bent on making Earth their new home, the race is on to save mankind.

The film is produced by Carly & Carmel Imrie (OCCUPATION, RED BILLABONG) and American co-executive producer Todd Williams (THE NUN, ALEX AND ME) with Monster Pictures distributing across Australia and New Zealand.

“The project is massive both in storytelling terms and behind the scenes. We’re planting the flag squarely in a sci/fi adventure setting, an Australian Star Wars,” said Carly and Carmel Imrie.

Film Mode Entertainment is representing worldwide rights on OCCUPATION: RAINFALL excluding Australia and New Zealand.
