With ancient Greek tale The Odyssey still slashing its way to peak box office, the sword and sorcery age remains a potent genre for Hollywood.
Now, Paramount Primal, Paramount’s low-budget genre label formed by producers J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, has picked up Tower Defense, an original Medieval fantasy from longtime adventure movie scribe Evan Daugherty.
The spec script sale comes with no filmmaker or producer attachments.
Plot details are being kept in the castle keep, but it is being described as a Medieval and supernatural fantasy twist on the concept seen in the early John Carpenter movie Assault on Precinct 13. The 1976 exploitation movie was set in a police station on the eve of the building’s retirement. It told of a group of people, including a police officer and a prisoner, who must survive a brutal gang attack. The movie was inspired by the John Wayne Western Rio Bravo.
