Untitled Gehenna Project

ConoconWe have news of the new film being helmed by Connery son of Connery. We have been made aware of Untitled Gehenna Project through comingsoon and they have provided the following plot synopsis:

Cuba Gooding Jr., Taryn Manning, Ron Perlman, Henry Rollins, Valerie Cruz and Ray Winstone are starring in the action thriller “Untitled Gehenna Project.” Sean Connery’s son, Jason Connery, is directing the tale of an elite group of soldiers (Gooding, Manning, Jason London, Franky G, Zack Ward, Stephanie Jacobson and Brandon Fobbs) sent on a covert mission by a government agent (Cruz) to retrieve a missing scientist (Perlman) from an underground lab.

They encounter a priest (Rollins) who tells them that an “ancient evil” has been released, causing their greatest fears to come to life. Their former leader (Winstone) plays a pivotal role in uncovering what is actually taking place at the facility. Bill Moseley and Sarah Ann Morris play members of the compromised research team.

Henry Rollins as a priest is awesome, this could rival George Carlin in Dogma or Dolph Lundgren in Johnny Mnemonc, as the greatest movie priest. The cast looks good, and movies about soldiers fighting ancient evil, never seems like a bad idea. It is difficult to have an opinion about the film at all until we start to hear more information.

I am going to keep thinking Winstone is Beowulf in the film. I will keep expecting him to rip arms off of people and hang them over doorways. I am shocked that Pearlman isn’t going to be a soldier, he plays warrior roles very well, I will hold out hope that he will play a warrior scientist. That would be a decent compromise.

This appears to be the second directorial outing for Connery, and we will see what the man can do. He comes from quality stock and has been around the movie industry all his life; let us see if this equals masterful direction. Connery certainly has a quality cast to work with, and this is a great opportunity for the fledgeling director to make an impression.

  1. The Louis Vuitton Handbags are sold with higher price in china that other countries, because china has the very high inprot taxes of handbags,so many chinese always want to buy a <b><a href=”http://www.louisvuittonoutlet-4u.net”>Cheap Louis Vuitton Handbags</a></b> and they will go aboard and buy cheap items from <b><a href=”http://www.louisvuittonoutlet-4u.net”>Louis Vuitton Outlet</a></b> ,buy the others who can’t go aborad will find a <b><a href=”http://www.louisvuittonoutlet-4u.net”>Louis Vuitton Online</a></b> out.

  2. I was working on this movie. Don’t believe the plot. The soldiers go underground — WAY underground! Straight to hell! Filming Ray Winstone’s scenes and he’s 100% bad ass. Paramount execs were on set the other day talking this one up but there’s so much green screen being done it’s kind of tough to tell how it’s going to look.

  3. The title of my script was ICE 44, which is how it is presently listed on the IMDB. A group of elite soldiers are sent inside an arctic glacier to rescue one scientist, a “religious historian” played by Ron Perlman. Of course, after they meet the Priest, played by Henry Rollins– well, you can see where it goes from there.

    Gehenna refers to the Jewish word for “hell”, or more precisely, “purgaotry”, the fires of hell where the really bad souls are sent. Follow your nose, you can guess the rest.

    With this eclectic cast, it’s a joyride for all!

    Keep the faith!

  4. Love the Dolph in Mnemonic (a film which is an abosolute balls-out guilty pleasure).

    I also nominate Canadian singer Hugh Dillion as a crazy preacher in Ginger Snaps 3.

    Also Robert Duvall in The Apostle kicks all sorts of holy ass.

    The best preacher ever is the guy in Peter Jackson’s “Braindead” who utters the immortal “I kick Arse for the Lord!!” before opening up some kung-fu bad-assery on the local zombie population. The scene is killer.

  5. It’s funny you mention Dolph in, ahem, ‘Moronic’, (and I’m even a William Gibson fan) as not only was he the best thing in it which says a lot (aside from the drugged up dolphin) but it’s only time no one pointed and said ‘Hey, it’s Dolph”.

    But, Doug, the more interesting bit…is that among Street Preacher’s (Lundgren) victims while searching for Jonny aka pre-Neo, was a character named “Spider”.

    Spider was played by…. Henry Rollins!

    What the hell ya think about that??
