Sylvester Stallone has signed on for the action-thriller Little America, Deadline reports, “set in a dystopian future where America has become bankrupt and turned into a war zone.”
The film is being compared to John Carpenter’s Escape from New York.
“Stallone will play a former Army Ranger hired by an Asian billionaire to find his daughter. With the highly-skilled sister of the missing woman along for the ride, Sly’s Ranger must navigate the dark underbelly of Little America, a walled off city within a city in Hong Kong where many Americans have fled.”
Rowan Athale (Strange But True) wrote the script and will direct.
Michael Bay (Platinum Dunes) will executive produce.
