Jaume Collet-Serra will direct the new “Cliffhanger” film starring Pierce Brosnan and Lily James
Filming of the movie has begun in Austria, reports the American weekly magazine Variety, which covers events in the world of show business.
Los Angeles/Vienna . A film starring Sylvester Stallone topped the box office in 1993: in the action thriller Cliffhanger, he played a climber who fought a gang of criminals on steep mountain slopes. The blockbuster was filmed in the Dolomites and was directed by Finn Renny Harlin. Now, Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra, who put former James Bonds Pierce Brosnan and Lily James in front of the camera, is following in his footsteps. Filming began in Austria, Variety reports.
Stallone, therefore, is not involved in the reboot. The script for the new action film was written by screenwriter and director Ana Lily Amirpour (48, “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon”).
Brosnan (71) plays a mountain climber named Ray, who runs a mountain lodge for tourists with his daughter Sydney. During an excursion with the billionaire’s son as a guest, they encounter kidnappers. Ray’s eldest daughter Naomi ( James ), still traumatized after a climbing accident, manages to escape and must now save her family in the mountains.
British actress James, 35, trained extensively for the role, learning to rock climb, and her dedication made it possible to film incredible scenes, Collet-Serra (Black Adam, The Switch) said in a statement. In addition to Brosnan and James, the film also stars Franz Rogowski (The Passage), Nell Tiger Free (Game of Thrones), Suzi Bemba (Poor Things) and Bruno Gouery (Emily in Paris)
