This movie has it all. Action, horror, Joel Schumacher and scribes Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who wrote New Line Cinema’s forthcoming FRIDAY THE 13TH and the popular FREDDY VS JASON. The duo were brought in to do a complete overhaul of Paramount’s urban crime drama Inland Saints, which Schumacher is attached to direct. Read all about it inside.
The project, formerly called “Fix” and set up at the studio last year based on a pitch by Kurt Sutter, had centered on the leader of a dangerous street gang who meets and falls in love with the daughter of the detective hired to bring down the gang.

Shannon and Swift are taking the project in a new direction. It is now described as an action horror pic set in a small-town desert wasteland gripped by drugs and gangs, with plot details still being hashed out.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing via his Par-based shingle alongside Eli Holzman. Erik Howsam is exec producing.

Shannon and Swift wrote the 2009 relaunch of “Friday the 13th,” a Paramount-New Line co-production, which Platinum Dunes is producing and Warner Bros. is distributing.

*The article also reveals that most recently they wrote JERRY THE GIANT KILLER, which Sam Raimi and Josh Donen are producing for Columbia Pictures. We’ll try and find out more on this project over the next few days.
