Blue Harbor Entertainment has acquired the North American rights to the action- sci-fi-adventure film, STORM RIDER: LEGEND OF HAMMERHEAD. The film stars Marco Ilsø (Vikings), James Cosmo (Braveheart), Caroline Goodall (Schindler’s List), Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (Dune: The Sisterhood), Billy Barratt (Bring Her Back), and Ivana Dudić (Legacy). Domagoj Mazuran (Exile to Babylon) and Zoran Lisinac (Toma) co-directed the picture, and co-wrote and co-produced it with Neb Chupin (Mindcage). Blue Harbor, along with the filmmakers, will release the film theatrically on more than 100 screens starting March 13, 2026.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Neb, Zoran, and Domagoj to bring their epic sci-fi fantasy adventure to audiences in the U.S.,” said Blue Harbor Entertainment in a statement.. “STORM RIDER is a visually striking and wholly original film. With its bold world-building, mythic scope, and high-stakes action, the filmmakers have crafted a thrilling new universe that will captivate audiences hungry for something fresh and exhilarating.”
Three centuries after the Great Flood, the world has fractured into scattered islands, forever threatened by a colossal, unending Storm. The Islanders’ only hope for safety lies in the fortified city-state of Argos—a sanctuary reachable only through perilous trials known as Storm Riding. Yet, among them, a defiant faction believes true salvation lies not within Argos, but beyond the Storm itself.
STORM RIDER: LEGEND OF HAMMERHEAD follows the audacious journey of two rebellious Islanders who dare to challenge fate—racing to breach the Storm, venture into the unknown, and uncover the secret origins of their universe, guarded by the immortal rulers of Argos: the enigmatic Founders.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring STORM RIDER: LEGEND OF HAMMERHEAD to audiences and we’re thrilled to have Blue Harbor Entertainment behind us,” said Lisinac. “Independently produced and handcrafted over the years, the film marks the launch of the Hydroverse – a bold new cinematic sandbox that sets the stage for many more stories to come.”
Co-producers of the film include Allen Norg, Natalie Burn, Timothy Woodward, Jr., Jessie Imundi, Mauro Borelli, Sweet Samson, George Gellert, Maia Magee, Vladimir Lisinac, and Miroslav Mogorovich. VFX MOD in Los Angeles was responsible for the more than 1500 VFX and 200 full CGI shots in the film.
