Just about every time that actor Bill Paxton has made his way through our genre has been a home run. Aliens, Frailty, Near Dark… the guy brings the goods with him. Let’s hope this trend continues with his latest flick!

According to Deadline, Bill Paxton has joined the previously announced Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Zegers in the $16 million Canadian indie The Colony, which is scheduled to shoot in Toronto through March 30th.

Jeff Renfroe is directing The Colony, based on a script he co-wrote with Patrick Tarr, Pascal Trottier, and Svet Rouskov.

The flick tells the tale of a small group of survivors living in the aftermath of a future ice age who live underground fighting for their lives in a society that disintegrates into cannibalism and violence.
