It’s utterly amazing to us how Sylvester Stallone still continues to kick an incredible amount of ass given his age, but we’re happy he’s still doing his thing. Next up for Sly is an adaptation of a book that will pit him against more than just the cold in the Arctic Circle.

Yahoo! reports that Stallone and Lionsgate have inked up a deal to fast track the film Hunter for a 2014 release date. Stallone is set to star, write and direct, and of course it will be filmed in 3D. Stallone has owned the film rights to the novel Hunter by James Byron Huggins for about 10 years now. Look for more soon!

Book Synopsis
A beast is loose somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a squad of elite military guards. And the raging creature is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation. It is a job Hunter cannot turn down, but he soon discovers that his prey is terror incarnate, a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments. It has man’s cunning, a predator’s savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages. And even if Hunter survives its unrelenting hunger for human blood, he’ll still have to confront the grim reality that it may have grown immortal.
