Scripted by relative unknowns Bobby Mort and Kevin Leeson, Scorched Earth is set in a post-apocalyptic world which finds both the Earth, and its population, severely hammered by a huge environmental disaster which leaves billions of people dead, and follows a new-age bounty hunter on the trail of the world’s most wanted criminal.
Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) is set to star as the bounty hunter, Atticus Gage, and will be appearing for director Brad Turner (who’s making Scorched Earth his first big screen feature since 1987, after largely working in the TV world on shows such as 24, Homeland, and Prison Break) in the film which at this point doesn’t have a confirmed start date, or release date.
