The man of many talents David Hayter has just been cast in the upcoming indie horror flick THE DEVIL’S MILE.
His name probably sounds familiar because he’s the man behind Solid Snake in the METAL GEAR SOLID series. Not only that but he’s written a few films you may have heard of including X-MEN, X-2: X-MEN UNITED and WATCHMEN.
Scribe Joseph O’Brien is directing the film; it will mark his feature debut. The film also has Maria Del Mar and Casey Hudecki on board to star as well. O’Brien had the follow to say via press release: “I was aware of David’s work as a screenwriter, and I’ve certainly spent my share of dusk-til-dawn gaming sessions playing Metal Gear Solid. But I also knew he began his career as an actor. We wanted to cast someone unconventional, a little unexpected, to play this frightening but charismatic madman. We reached out to David, and we were thrilled when he agreed to come on board.”
The official synopsis: The Devil’s Mile is a relentlessly paced hybrid of gritty crime thriller and Lovecraftian supernatural horror. The film follows a trio of kidnappers who take an ill-advised detour en route to deliver their hostages — two teenage girls — to their mysterious and powerful employer. When they accidentally kill one of the girls during a botched escape attempt, their simmering mistrust explodes into shocking violence. But what they thought was their worst case scenario is only the beginning, as they are engulfed by the hellish forces that haunt the road — a road they realize they may never escape. Now captors and captive must fight together to escape the monstrous forces pursuing them and somehow survive…The Devil’s Mile.
The film is currently in pre-production, and I am sure we will hear more about it as time rolls on. There is currently no time frame for a release date.
