Project, formerly called "Fix" and set up at the studio last year based on a pitch by Kurt Sutter, had centered on the leader of a dangerous street gang who meets and falls in love with the daughter of the detective hired to bring down the gang.
Shannon and Swift are taking the project in a new direction. It is now described as an action horror pic set in a small-town desert wasteland gripped by drugs and gangs, with plot details still being hashed out.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing via his Par-based shingle alongside Eli Holzman. Erik Howsam is exec producing.
Shannon and Swift wrote the 2009 relaunch of "Friday the 13th," a Paramount-New Line co-production, which Platinum Dunes is producing and Warner Bros. is distributing. Most recently they wrote "Jerry the Giant Killer," which Sam Raimi and Josh Donen are producing for Columbia Pictures.
