Today we are treated to a brand new trailer! For what you ask? Well, famed survivalist Les Stroud has turned to acting in The Pit. Director Stacy Brown Jr Shares New Trailer and Stills Longterm Friends Pushed to Their Limits to Survive. Best Dudes Films has shared the first trailer and stills from writer/director Stacy Brown Jr’s The Pit. Brown’s debut feature follows a pair of longtime friends deep in the woods whose bond is sorely tested when survival is on the line.

Synopsis: While hiking in an isolated forest, survivalist Danny Coile and his old Army buddy Arron James become hopelessly trapped when they fall into a deep cenote with no way out. Over the next 50 days, they transform from mild-mannered old friends into vicious, bloodthirsty animals willing to do whatever it takes to survive.

Okay, clearly this is a vehicle. The Pit also seems to be a metaphor for the place the two characters find themselves in. While reserving judgment until actually seeing the film, I find the reference to Stroud’s actual TV career less than graceful. Too, the premise is a very difficult one to pull off; Two characters in a single location. We wish Director Stacy Brown Jr. the best and look forward to checking this out when it is released in 2020.
