Corin Hardy (The Hallow) has locked down a deal with Paramount Pictures to take on the horror action film Hell Bent, which is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Meg, The Devil Inside) and Mark Vahradian, according to Deadline.
The film follows, “…a group of mercenaries imprisoned in a Brazilian jail [who] are murdered and led into the depths of hell by a priest who wishes to use their skills to kill Satan before he brings hell to Earth.”
Honestly, that sounds like it was influenced a little bit by Clive Barker’s Jericho, if anyone remembers playing that game.
The site states that the film will aim for a $60 million or under budget and is not going to rely on getting any big names, but rather aim for stars who are up and coming and have potential to be the next A-listers.
The site also reports that while Hardy has exited the remake of The Crow that he might actually come back to that project, although nothing is even remotely close to being confirmed.
