Director Ron Howard’s Eden unravels the shocking true story of a group of disillusioned outsiders who abandon civilization, settling on a remote, uninhabited island only to discover that the greatest threat isn’t the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other. As tensions spiral and desperation takes hold, a twisted power struggle unfolds, leading to betrayal, violence, and the deaths of half the colony.
Howard cut his teeth on comedy but, over the years, has proven himself a worthy dramatic filmmaker with excellent works such as Frost/Nixon, Cinderella Man, The Paper, and the Oscar-winning A Beautiful Mind.
This one could be quite interesting and seems like another intriguing challenge for Howard as a filmmaker.
