Hell is looking to be a popular location for several upcoming projects. First up, "The Hallow" director Corin Hardy has closed a deal to direct the Mike Finch-scripted action feature "Hell Bent" for Paramount Pictures. Casting will shortly begin while the script gets a polish, while Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian are producing. Dubbed 'The Dirty Dozen Goes To Hell,' the story follows a group of mercenaries imprisoned in a Brazilian jail who are murdered and led into the depths of hell by a priest who wishes to use their skills to kill Satan. Next up, Alcon Entertainment has optioned Christian minister Howard Storm's novel "My Descent Into Death," a supernatural thriller dramatizing his personal account of his near death experience.
