BLACK SITE Director Sophia Banks Teaming With HACKSAW RIDGE Producers to Make Female Survival Movie STREET RAT ALLIE
Director Sophia Banks (Unregistered, Proxy) has gained some popularity as she stepped up to helm next year’s action flick Black Site, which is set to star Michelle Monaghan, Jai Courtney, and Jason Clarke. Now she has her next project lined up as well, with the female survival movie Street Rat Allie. She will team up with Hacksaw Ridge producing trio Bill Mechanic, Paul Currie, and Rick Nicita.
“The film will follow Allie, who is presented with a ticket to escape her post-apocalyptic city, which is sealed off by a dome. She and her ‘Street Rats,’ a pack of Dickensian girls who depend on each other for survival, become the targets of every criminal — human or otherwise. Armed with only her wits and a skateboard, she must overcome outsiders and her own conscience in leaving her fellow Street Rats behind.”
Mechanic said in a statement, “Sophia has already proven herself as an award-winning commercials and shorts director and is about to break in the feature world in a big way. She is one of the most exciting talents I’ve had the fortune to work with, and I expect her to turn Street Rat Allie into a major franchise. Couldn’t be more excited to join forces with Sophia and do great things.”
