Soccer Team Stranded In "Eden"

Heat Vision reports that Diego Boneta, Ethan Peck. Nate Parker, Eugene Simon and Sung Kang are set to star in the survival thriller "Eden".



A cross between "Alive" and "Lord of the Flies," the story begins when a soccer team's plane crash lands on a deserted Pacific island. Team spirit evaporates as disagreements cause the group to separate into factions - a violent one lead by an unbalanced ruler (Peck), and a compassionate one led by a selfless player (Parker). 

Boneta plays the wildcard, a cocky player who becomes an obsessive and sadistic barbarian.

 Mark Mavrothalasitis wrote the script from which Shyam Madiraju will make his feature directing debut.

Jaume Collet-Sera's, Parker, Juan Sola and Hernany Perla will produce.

Production hopes to begin next month in Malaysia.

A year ago, Parker helmed a 'proof of concept' teaser short to help raise funds for the film:
