PROJECT DETAILS

• Filming is said to begin in Catskills on May 29th 2012.
• Riley Keough and Julia Garner are the sisters.
• Wyatt Russell plays a deputy who is in love with Riley Keough's character.
• Bill Sage plays the father.
• Jim Mickle was quoted saying the following in an interview: "We're not going to fuck this up. I just finished a first draft of it with Nick Damici, and we're taking it in a very cool new direction that I'm quite stoked about. I'm not usually a fan of international "remakes", but this one has so many possibilities for trying out new ideas while honoring the Mexican film, and hopefully creating something that can play hand in hand with Jorge's film. I'm hoping it can also bring awareness to the original and not aim to make it obsolete as a lot of retreads wind up doing. Couldn't be happier with what we have so far! Think Winter's Bone with cannibals..."
• Jim Mickle was quoted saying: "It’s a cool challenge to do justice to Jorge’s story, but also explore things from an unexpected angle."
• While the original was set in Mexico City, this remake will be set in a "poor part of the Catskills region in New York State."
• Co-written and directed by Jim Mickle (Stake Land).
• A remake of the 2010 Mexican film with the same name from writer/director Jorge Michel Grau.
