Naomi Watts is back in battle with the elements. The two-time Oscar nominee scored one of her nods for “The Impossible,” a drama about a family fighting to survive the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and her latest pic, “Infinite Storm,” sees her trying to make it out of a blizzard alive. Like “The Impossible,” it’s based on a true story.
Małgorzata Szumowska’s latest follows Pam Bales (Watts), an experienced climber who is planning to ascend Mt. Washington. “It’s cheaper than therapy and mountains always listen — and never talk back,” she says in a new trailer for the film. Pam is unable to summit due to a storm, but she encounters someone in distress on her way down. “If we don’t get moving, we’re dead,” she pleads with him.
Watts’ recent credits include “The Desperate Hour” and “Penguin Bloom.”
Szumowska’s “Mug” and “Body” both won Silver Bears at the Berlin International Film Festival. Her last feature, “Never Gonna Snow Again,” was Poland’s pick for Best International Feature at last year’s Academy Awards.
“Infinite Storm” hits theaters March 25.
