FIRST-look images have offered a glimpse at Martin Compston starring in new thriller The Rig.

The Rig tells the story of a North Sea oil rig off the Scottish coast that gets cut off from all communication with the shore and the outside world due to earth tremors.

“As the crew endeavour to discover what’s driving this unknown force, a major accident forces them to ask questions about who they can really trust,” according to a statement from the programme-makers.

The crew “will be driven to the limits of both their loyalties and their endurance, into a confrontation with forces beyond their imagination”, it added.
