With production underway on Chelsea Stardust's Satanic Panic and a movie adaptation of Preston Fassel’s Our Lady of the Inferno in development, Fangoria has exciting film projects on their upcoming slate, and they've now added another one to the macabre mix: the acton horror movie V.F.W., starring Stephen Lang and directed by Joe Begos.
Deadline reports that Begos (The Mind's Eye, Almost Human) will direct V.F.W. from a screenplay by Max Brallier and Matthew McArdle, with Lang (Don't Breathe, Salem, Avatar) in the starring role.
Described as "The Wild Bunch meets Night of the Living Dead," according to Deadline, V.F.W. "follows Fred and his military buddies as they must defend their local VFW post – and an innocent teen – against a deranged drug dealer and his relentless army of punk mutants. These Vietnam vets have been to hell and back, but this will be the longest night of their lives."
V.F.W. will be produced by Fangoria's Dallas Sonnier and Amanda Presmyk, as well as Josh Ethier from Begos’ Channel 83 Films. Fangoria's Adam Donaghey, Phil Nobile Jr., and Danielle Cox are on board as executive producers, with Bobby Campbell, Noah Lang, Stephen Lang, Matthew McArdle, and Max Brallier also executive producing, along with Media Finance Capital's David Gilbery and Charles Dorfman.
V.F.W. is expected to start filming this month in Dallas, and we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on future announcements.
