Lorenzo di Bonaventura’s and his di Bonaventura Pictures shingle is getting ready to travel to the DMZ and take on a foreign menace, according to a story in Variety.
DMZ, aka the Korean Demilitarized Zone, is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. (Thanks Wikipedia!) It’s also the setting for this suspense flick, which centers on a U.S. satellite that crashes in the Korean Demilitarized Zone and an unlikely international group of soldiers who unite to enter the DMZ and retrieve the satellite despite the imminent threat of hostile North Korean soldiers. The disparate heroes soon learn that there is something much more deadly in the DMZ than enemy soldiers.
Hmm, crashed satellite? I’m gonna guess these soldiers have to face some visitors from another world…
Jeremy Passmore and Andre Fabrizio are writing the screenplay; the duo wrote THE WORLD AFTER (aka NOCTURNE), a flick that’s on Len Wiseman’s plate. DMX will be produced by CJ Entertainment (Adam Green’s upcoming KILLER PIZZA) and di Bonaventura Pictures, although no director has been attached just yet.
