Joel Silver Is Producing a New Action Thriller for Sony Pictures Titled THE DRYLAND — GeekTyrant

Producer Joel Silver and Sony Pictures are developing a new action-thriller titled The Dryland, which comes from screenwriter David Rothley.

The story follows “a kidnapping and ransom negotiator tasked with finding a nine-year-old boy who went missing on an Indian Reservation in South Dakota. After finding the boy, she must fight to keep them both alive when they come under attack by the very people who hired her — corrupt FBI agents and cold-blooded police officials who want the boy dead because of what he knows.”

Silver is the mega Hollywood producer who previously brought us the Lethal Weapon franchise, The Matrix franchise, the Sherlock Holmes franchise, Veronica Mars, and more. This sounds like an interesting film project that is going to tell an intense story.

The film is in the early development stages, and the producers are still looking for star talent and a director.
