From the producers of Fast and the Furious comes a bold new cinematic spectacle.
Announced by Deadline today, The Bad Batch director Ana Lily Amirpour‘s next film will be a remake of the Sylvester Stallone-starring Cliffhanger, which was directed by Renny Harlin!
The fresh new take on the 1993 film is heading to the Cannes Marché, and Deadline notes that “the reimagined, big-canvas package will have a female lead — casting is underway.”
They add that Jason Momoa is in talks for “a key cameo.”
Amirpour says of the project, “We are setting out to create a thrill-ride on the mountain which taps into the primal side of an action movie, where you see what a person is capable of doing to survive in the most extreme situations, pushed to the limits. Add to that some high-stakes espionage and a badass female mountain climber as the lead and it becomes a truly epic reinvention of what made the original Cliffhanger movie so fun and so thrilling.”
Sascha Penn (Creed II) wrote the script.
Neil Moritz’s Original Film will produce with Rocket Science.
