Get ready for a thrilling psychological journey with Shailene Woodley's upcoming film, Ultra: A Dark Descent into the Mind.
Woodley, known for her role in the Divergent series, is set to star in this intense thriller, written and directed by Victoria Negri. The film promises to explore the depths of the human psyche, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats.
But here's where it gets controversial... Ultra delves into the world of extreme athletics, specifically the Badwater 135 Ultramarathon, a grueling 135-mile race through Death Valley's scorching heat. As Eve, Woodley's character, takes on this formidable challenge, she finds herself not only battling the elements but also an unknown runner in white, who seems to be closing in on her.
The film's synopsis hints at a deeper, psychological struggle: "As Eve pushes her body to the limit, she uncovers the darkest parts of herself, questioning her strength and resilience."
Negri, inspired by personal experiences, says, "Ultra is a visceral journey, a metaphor for processing loss and emotional turmoil."
And this is the part most people miss... Ultra is not just about the physical endurance, but the mental fortitude required to face one's own demons. It's a race against an unknown adversary, but also a battle within.
With an impressive production team, including Allison Rose Carter and Jon Read, and international sales handled by Mister Smith Entertainment, Ultra is set to make waves at the 2025 AFM.
