The Sherlock star will begin filming Blood Mountain this in April.
Benedict Cumberbatch, currently lighting American TV screens on fire as the BBC's Sherlock season three finally airs here, is attached to star in new thriller, Blood Mountain. Sergei Bodrov will direct Blood Mountain from a script by Jonathan W. Stokes and John Romano. According to Variety, Blood Mountain "follows a private military contractor whose special forces team is ambushed and killed during a covert raid, forcing him to personally escort one of the world’s most wanted terrorists over hostile terrain in order to bring him to justice. With a bounty at stake and insurgents and rival mercenaries hunting them, the two find themselves facing not only their enemies, but each other in their fight for survival."
Principal photography will kick off in April in Morocco. There's no word on a release date for Blood Mountain. There's also no word on how this will effect the persistent rumors that Mr. Cumberbatch is going to play a part in Star Wars: Episode VII.
