If you’re a Katee Sackhoff fan, I bet you might be interested in one of her latest projects… A movie called Growl.
She’s been a busy girl on TV with her roles in The Education of Max Bickford, Battlestar Galactica, Bionic Woman, Nip/Tuck and her latest dual persona role of Dana Walsh in the Kiefer Sutherland starrer, 24. She doesn’t have a ton of movies under her belt, but her more popular (amongst the movies she’s made) is White Noise 2: The Light.
But her latest project that is getting some form of media attention is called Growl.
Growl was written (and) directed by Sxv’leithan Essex (Bled, Ashley’s Ashes) and will be produced by Lee Cleary. Cleary has such titles under his belt such as The A-Team, X-Men Origins: Wolverine & The Hurt Locker. I presume Cleary see’s something in this movie that makes them want to produce it, so we’ll go with that.
Along with Sackhoff are actors Josh Kelly (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Jennifer Lee Wiggins (Bled), Paul Bean et al.
The plot surrounding Growl:
A traveling underground fight club called ‘The Brawlers’ arrive at a derelict ghost town tucked away in the Colorado Rockies. They meet the town’s only residents, the Maxilla family who want to buy on to the fight card. But the Maxilla family’s true intentions for the Brawler crew is soon revealed in teeth and claws. Some will be hunted, some will be feed, and some will become part of the family…whether they like it or not.
I smell a combo of Predators and Dog Soldiers (One of my all-time favorite werewolf movies) but that’s hard to avoid similarities to anything these days, since just about everything has been made about everything. It’s just a matter of making something unique enough with talent that brings their own flair to a story that makes something different, and sometimes better.
What may help this project stand out is the potential addition of Kiefer Sutherland to the cast! According to Shock Till You Drop, Sutherland is in talks to join the production once his work on Melancholia has wrapped up.
They already have a trilogy planned out, with ancillary product support in the form of prequel graphic novels & video games.
Growl is scheduled to be due out sometime in 2011.
