EXCLUSIVE: A backpacker’s battle to escape the locked boot of a car and regain her memory is to be the plot of Amazon Prime Video’s latest German movie.
In high-octane thriller Trunk (working title), Sina Martens (The Perfumier, Tatort) will play Malina, who wakes up disoriented to discover to her horror that she is missing more than her memory. With her mobile phone as her only link to the outside world, she wages a desperate battle for survival as the vehicle races inexorably towards a terrible mystery. Even if she makes it – she will never be the same.
The movie has echoes of claustrophobic single-location action features such as Ryan Reynolds’ Buried and is being produced by German indie Outside the Club. Marc Schießer is writing, directing and producing and Tobias Lohf will also produce.
Amazon Head of German Originals Philip Pratt said Trunk will “take viewers on a wild ride through all the emotions.”
He told Deadline more movies “in this realm” could be on the horizon from Prime Video and said he is interested in “fun, entertaining shows with action.”
