đŸ”„ “Afterburn”: A Treasure Hunt Through a Burned-Out World

Coming Soon – Only in Theaters


When the world has burned, what’s left to fight for?


“Afterburn”, an explosive post-apocalyptic action epic directed by J. J. Perry (Day Shift), is headed to theaters — and it’s bringing with it a scorched Earth, buried secrets, and the kind of adrenaline-fueled storytelling fans of comics and blockbusters will devour. Based on the cult-favorite graphic novel series by Scott Chitwood, Paul Ens, and Wayne Nichols, Afterburn is a wild ride through a ruined future, starring Dave Bautista, Samuel L. Jackson, Olga Kurylenko, and Kristofer Hivju.


🌍 The World Has Burned


A massive solar flare has decimated the Eastern Hemisphere, wiping out governments, societies, and almost all technology. A decade later, the world is divided between the desperate and the powerful — those who scavenge for survival and those who pay top dollar for pre-flare relics.


Enter Jake (Bautista), a hardened ex-soldier turned treasure hunter for hire, navigating the ruins of Europe to recover high-value artifacts for his elite clients. His latest assignment? Recover the Mona Lisa from the remains of a dead civilization.


But this mission is more than it seems. Jake’s journey forces him to confront his past and grapple with a growing truth: the world doesn’t need more relics — it needs redemption.


đŸ’„ An All-Star Cast of Survivors and Fighters


  • Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy, Dune) leads as Jake, tough, cynical, but capable of greatness.

  • Samuel L. Jackson plays Valentine, a fierce resistance leader trying to stop opportunists from looting what’s left of the world’s soul.

  • Olga Kurylenko (Oblivion, Quantum of Solace) stars as Drea, a no-nonsense freedom fighter with a personal stake in the chaos.

  • Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones) brings his raw energy to an undisclosed, undoubtedly scene-stealing role.


🎬 Behind the Scenes: Action and Atmosphere


  • Director J. J. Perry brings his stunt expertise and kinetic action sensibility to a story that’s part Indiana Jones, part Mad Max.

  • Writers: Matt Johnson and NimrĂłd Antal inject depth and dark humor into a survival story that’s as emotional as it is thrilling.

  • Music: Roque Baños (of Don’t Breathe and The Machinist) delivers a haunting score to echo the wasteland’s silence.

  • Budget: With a $56.7 million production budget, expect explosive visuals, high-tech salvage operations, and sun-scorched landscapes that feel both ancient and futuristic.


đŸ–Œïž More Than a Painting


While the Mona Lisa may be the mission, Afterburn is really about something deeper: What’s worth saving when civilization collapses? In Jake’s reluctant heroism, and the battles that erupt between warlords and resistance fighters, Afterburn explores themes of legacy, loyalty, and hope — even when the world is literally burning down.


đŸŽŸïž Coming Soon: See It in Theaters


Prepare to experience a bold new vision of the apocalypse when Afterburn blazes into theaters. With Dave Bautista leading the charge, this is one sci-fi adventure that promises not just spectacle, but soul.


📅 Release Date: Coming Soon

đŸ”„ Afterburn — The world is ashes. The mission is priceless. The fight is personal.
