Starring director/writer/producer Guy Bleyaert (The Last Inquisitors), martial arts superstar and World Champion Zara Phythian (Doctor Strange), Silvio Simac (John Wick: Chapter 3- Parabellum), Lee Charles (Dragon Kingdom), Kimberly Stahl (Lost), Stefanie Joosten (voice of Quiet in the game, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain), John Flanders (Moonwalkers) and Lucas Tavernier (The Monuments Men), Transit 17 takes place after a virus infects multiple European countries and a team of resistance soldiers fight to save a young girl who seems to be their last hope for a cure.
After Europe is hit with a virus, which infected 60 million people, General Ratzinger (Jean-Paul Van der Velde) and his military aim to control the survivors hidden in secret outputs known as “transits.” Lead by the Commander (Silvio Simac), his “sniffers” continue to look for those who refuse to be confined, while insurgents known as the Free Fighters, led by Vanguard (Christophe VanZandycke), aim to evade and destroy this oppressive military which, instead of looking for a cure, continues to kill the infected as they grow in numbers.
Meanwhile, a separate Resistance team composed of Tex (Guy Bleyaert), Eve (Zara Phythian), Brad (Lee Charles), Deena (Kimberly Stahl) and Daniel (Daniel Pala) sets out on a secret operation to find Jen (Maria Melikidze), a 15-year old girl who was infected with the virus but survived. She may be the only hope for a cure, which causes The Free Fighters and the Resistance join together. They will stop at nothing until she is safe and the cure to save mankind is discovered.
Transit 17 will be available on digital for an SRP of $4.9 -$9.99 from platforms including iTunes, Vudu, Playstation, Xbox, Amazon Instant, Google Play, FandangoNow, Hoopla and Overdrive as well as 200+ cable affiliates including Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, Cox, Verizon, Frontier, Suddenlink, Mediacom, Google Fiber, and Dish.
“This production was really something special for me. I wanted to give it a certain style with a mixture of sci-fi, action and creatures in the story," says Guy Bleyaert. “I loved having full control over the script and production design, and I really wanted to give it my own touch. That said, I must admit it came with a lot more effort and work for me then expected.”
“It is not easy these days to come up with a refreshing story and a twist," Bleyaert continues. “The biggest challenge was to get it done with the budget at hand. The cast and crew were as excited as I was, and that helped a lot, as teamwork is very important in a production like this."
“Vision is very proud to be presenting Transit 17," says Vision Films Managing Director/CEO, Lise Romanoff. “This intriguing film, which contains a huge amount of special effects and action, is an absolute achievement for the filmmaker, who wears many hats, Guy Bleyaert. We are excited to be bringing it to the world.”
