Everest - Teaser Trailer

Some people get a once in a lifetime chance to make history. Some people, unfortunately end fining themselves part of events that live in infamy. Such is the story of the people who attempted to climb the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, in 1996. Their story would later be referred to as the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, as two competing expeditions were caught on the mountain by a horrific storm, leading to the most terrifying events on the mountain until that point. This is the story of those climbers.

Based on the book 'Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster' by Jon Krakauer (played by Michael Kelly in the film), 'Everest' comes from director Baltasar Kormákur ('The Deep', '2 Guns'). The film was announced in early 2013, and went into principle photography in January 2014, with filming taking place around Everest itself, as well as parts of Italy and Iceland. On April 18, 2014, a number of Sherpas carrying supplies to the film crew on Everest were killed in an avalanche. The film is set for release in the US on 18th September 2015.
