    Minds Eye Entertainment, VMI Worldwide and Bridgegate Pictures are partnering for the movie, which is being directed by Rob King from a script written by Dave Schultz.

    Principal photography is set to begin this week in British Columbia, and is being shot for a multiscreen, panoramic format.
