Dark Sky Films and Snowfort Pictures have announced they will re-team and continue their multi-picture deal with writer-director Ted Geoghegan on Mohawk, the follow-up to his critical and commercial horror hit We Are Still Here. The film is set to star Tiio Horn (“Hemlock Grove,” “Blank Paige”), a Mohawk native herself, along with a very popular WWE Superstar. Read on for the details!
The new project, an intense horror and action tale, reunites Geoghegan with We Are Still Here producer Travis Stevens, producer Greg Newman, and co-screenwriter Grady Hendrix, best-selling author of Horrorstör. Principal photography begins today in upstate New York.
Along with Horn (below left), other cast members in the film include WWE Superstar Jon Huber (aka Luke Harper) and an elite line-up of genre names including: Justin Rain (Syfy’s “Defiance,” The Twlight Saga: Eclipse), Noah Segan (below right; Looper, Starry Eyes), Ian Colleti (AMC’s “Preacher”), Robert Longstreet (Take Shelter), Sheri Foster (Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), Ezra Buzzington (The Hills Have Eyes, “Crossbones”), and many others.
Synopsis:
After one of her tribe sets an American soldiers’ camp ablaze, a young female Mohawk finds herself pursued by a ruthless band of renegades bent on revenge. Fleeing deep into the woods, Mohawk youths Oak and Calvin confront the bloodthirsty Colonel Holt and his soldiers. As the Americans seem to close in from all sides, the trio must summon every resource — both real and supernatural — as the brutal attack escalates.
Greg Newman (producer) said, “We are thrilled to be working with both Ted and Travis again. We Are Still Here proved them to be a winning production team. We’re excited for Ted to take on a real-life horror story that promises to deliver action and suspense to spare.”
Travis Stevens (producer) adds, “From Rey in The Force Awakens to Fury Road’s Furiosa to Wonder Woman to Jessica Jones, action audiences have shown a voracious appetite for strong, well-written female characters. We’re excited to work with Dark Sky Films and Tiio Horn and introduce the character of ‘Okwaho’ to the diverse pantheon of action heroines who have come before her.”
Director Ted Geoghegan said, “Mohawk is hard-hitting action-horror that subverts traditional genre tropes while delivering a timeless tale of good versus evil. We look to deliver a horrifying home invasion film where the home is North America itself.”
