Film shot in the North Okanagan set to debut in theatres next month

Those familiar with the landscapes of the North Okanagan will likely recognize the setting of a new war movie hitting theatres next month.

Based on a true story, Reacon was filmed in Enderby during 2017 and is finally slated to premiere at movie theatres across Canada just in time for Remembrance Day on Nov 10.

"To say we are excited to bring this film out now would be an understatement," producer Rick Dugdale said on his Enderby Entertainment Facebook page.

"We could not be more excited to bring this film to the masses. This really is a film with so much love around it, and to be able to tell a true story such as this just means so much to us."

According to the Hollywood Entertainment site Deadline, the screenplay is based on the novel "Peace" by Air Force veteran Richard Bausch.

"It follows four American soldiers over the course of a day after they're sent on a possible suicide mission over a mountain," reads the preview.

"They're led by an old Italian partisan, and no one can be sure of his loyalties. The men witnessed their sergeant kill an Italian civilian just before this assignment, so no one really knows whether they're supposed to succeed or perish."

The film's stars include Alexander Ludwig, Sam Keeley, Chris Brochu and Franco Nero.

Several locals were also used as extras during the filming.

Enderby has become a bit of a hub for filmmakers over the years, Blackway starring Anthony Hopkins and Julia Styles was also shot in the area.

That film hit Netflix back in 2017.
