Here’s an unusual-sounding project that might have extreme potential: Demian Lichtenstein (3000 MILES TO GRACELAND) has been tapped to helm a 3D thriller that almost sounds like it has CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST overtones. It’s called RELENTLESS, and will star Karl Urban (pictured). Here’s the lowdown, courtesy of Variety:

It’s the story of four extreme sports professionals who survive a plane crash in the Amazon jungle, and must use all their survival instincts as they are hunted by a group of homicidal natives.

I like it. It’s good to see that this resurgence of 3D won’t soley be the territory of PG-13 flicks. We can probably expect plenty of spears being tossed our way, as well as blood and guts that look like they’re flying right at you! “Damn, I feel like I can just reach out and touch that dude’s spleen!”

Licthenstein was apparently mentored by James Cameron, currently using the advanced technology on AVATAR, so at least he’s be taught by the best. Here’s what he had to say: “I am fascinated with the new 3-D technology and know that this script is a perfect match to take advantage of the unlimited potential of what 3-D can do… After being mentored by James Cameron on the set of his new 3-D film ‘Avatar,’ I knew that 3-D movies are no longer just a fad. It is the future of filmmaking.”

Filming gets underway this September in Puerto Rico. Keep your eyes stuck on this site as more info comes in.
