Flood
Short description
Flood is an action thriller about a catastrophic natural disaster in England. When a massive storm creates a powerful tidal surge that moves along the East Coast and enters the Thames Estuary, London faces a devastating inundation. As water levels rise and threaten the city's barriers, a marine engineer named Rob Morrison, his father Leonard, and his former wife Sam race against time to prevent total destruction. They struggle to convince officials of the severity of the situation before the floodwaters overwhelm the capital and endanger millions of residents.
The film was directed by Tony Mitchell and written by Justin Bodle, Matthew Cope, and Nick Morley. It features a cast including Robert Carlyle, Jessalyn Gilsig, Tom Courtenay, Joanne Whalley, David Suchet, and Martin Ball. A production involving companies from the United Kingdom, Canada, and South Africa, the movie earned 8 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception was mixed, with a rating of 5.3/10 on TMDB based on 165 votes.
What's left behind the scenes
- This film became the last work in cinema for British actress Moira Lister. She passed away two days after the film's release.
- The film was shot for eleven weeks in the Republic of South Africa and for another two weeks in London in the spring of 2006.
- In New Zealand and Canada, the film was released on television as a mini-series with a total duration of just over three hours, compared to the 110-minute theatrical version.
- The idea for the film was taken from the novel of the same name by Richard Doyle, who attempts to predict the possible development of events if the Thames Barrier fails to withstand the water pressure and London is flooded.
- Twenty-six sets with structures submerged in water were constructed for filming the actors in various flood scenes. Miniature sets in huge water tanks were used to film flooded large objects, such as the Thames Barrier, the London Underground, and parking garages. Large-scale shots of flooded London were obtained using computer graphics by overlaying water onto regular footage of the city.
