Julius Avery (Overlord) has been set to direct Samaritan for MGM, and Deadline reports today that Sylvester Stallone has signed on to star in the upcoming thriller!
“Based on an original idea, the thriller centers on a young boy who is out to discover if a mythic superhero, who vanished 20 years earlier following a tragic event, is still alive.”
“Sly is a hero of mine, I’m incredibly thrilled to be working with such an iconic actor on this very special project with Balboa Productions and MGM,” said Avery.
Bragi F. Schut (Escape Room) wrote the script.
