So maybe not but it does come from the same guys!

Good news today care of an article over at Vanity Fair confirming old news that Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos, the producer/star and director of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation (our review) are working on a new project. I say old news because when Colleen and I had a chance to speak with Chris at the Vancouver screening of the film, he mentioned he was working on pitching this project. At the time, he didn’t share too many details and though we don’t get too much more from the folks over at Vanity Fair, we do get a basic sense of what to expect.

The film, titled What the River Takes, is an entirely original story which Zala describes as a “Southern gothic action adventure.” Here’s the plot synopsis care of Zala himself:

A young man, haunted by his father’s disappearance and presumed death, discovers eight years later his father is still alive and being held captive by a mysterious river cult. In search of his father, he goes up river, all the while hunted by the man responsible for his father’s abduction.

Southern gothic action adventure? Count me on board! The guys are currently shopping the story around while also continuing to tour with Raiders: The Adaptation as it makes its way across the US on various charity screenings. Lots of new dates recently added so be sure to check the website for details.
