Writer and director Jeff Renfroe’s The Colony is one of the best-looking action films Canada has ever produced, but it has the kind of script and concept that you might expect from a direct-to-DVD Hollywood prequel. Where the film manages to surprise is in the casting, and some of the hell-bent villains that bring much-needed action to the second half of the story.
The stars of The Colony, including Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Zegers, Lisa Berry, Atticus Dean Mitchell, Kimberly-Sue Murray, along with writer and director Jeff Renfroe, walked the red carpet in Toronto last night, answering questions about the new post-apocalyptic thriller.
