Universal and Blumhouse took their own stab at the concept with The Hunt and now Mill Creek Entertainment has actually remade The Most Dangerous Game, the classic 1932 thriller in which passengers from a luxury yacht are hunted for sport.
Deadline has the first images from the fresh take that stars two-time Oscar nominee Bruce Dern (Nebraska, Freaks, The ‘Burbs), Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club) and Caspar Van Dien (Starship Troopers) with Tom Berenger (Platoon) and Chris “CT” Tamburello (MTV’s “The Challenge”).
“The original ‘man hunting man’ story gets a twist as father and son are washed ashore after their steamership explodes. The men find refuge on a mysterious island where their nefarious host, Baron Von Wolf, reveals to them that the island is his game preserve where human beings serve as the ultimate hunt. Berenger plays a man who has been hiding on the island but who’s sanity is on the verge of collapse.”
Writer-director Justin Lee (Final Kill) is behind the feature, which is being shot on the Koenig Pictures backlot in the Pacific Northwest.
The Koenig Pictures production, which is being made in association with Charach Productions, is currently in production and is aiming for a summer 2022 release, notes the site, further adding that Mill Creek will oversee the North American release of the film.
