Sylvester Stallone To Star in Producer Michael Bay's Dystopian Action Film LITTLE AMERICA
Sylvester Stallone is set to star in an upcoming Michael Bay-produced action movie titled Little America. The project is described as being reminiscent of John Carpenter’s iconic 1981 sci-fi action-thriller Escape From New York, starring Kurt Russell.
The story is set in a dystopian future “where America has become bankrupt and turned into a war zone. 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.”
The movie was initially set up at Universal Pictures after they won a bidding war for a spec script by Rowan Athale (Strange But True), but they ended up not doing anything with it. The project is now on the open market and is being pushed forward by Bay and his Platinum Dunes production company. This is said to be among the most in-demand film packages.
The movie is gearing up to start shooting this summer. Does this sound like a film project that you’d be interested in watching?
