Sylvester Stallone And Director Jim Mickle Are Teaming Up For A Movie That Will Probably Be Pretty Good

Deadline has the news about this project, which was written by screenwriter Daniel Casey and was originally titled Godforsaken (although the title will be changed for whatever reason). The site reports that this project was initially teased by Stallone at STX Entertainment’s CinemaCon panel a few months ago, but it wasn’t clear at the time to what the Rocky and Rambo star was referring. Now we know – a Jim Mickle-directed film that Deadline describes thusly:

Mickle’s other credits include co-creating and directing the new television series Hap and Leonard (which, like Cold in July, is based on the work of author Joe Lansdale), writing and directing the American remake of the cannibal horror film We Are What We Are (which avoids so many of the pitfalls that most horror remakes encounter), and writing and directing the clever vampire movie Stake Land. I cannot wait to see what he does with a huge personality like Stallone.
