Gavin O'Connor Charts The "Massacre In The Himalayas"

It has been announced that Gavin O'Connor ("Warrior") will direct the action-adventure "Massacre in the Himalayas" for Hollywood Gang Productions.



Based on a Men's Journal article, the story follows an international team of 16 mountain climbers trying to reach the summit of K2 the second-highest mountain on Earth located in Pakistan. The team is attacked by Taliban extremists who killed ten climbers and a local Pakistani cook.

In a statement, O'Connor says:

"I love the idea of using the colossal backdrop of K2, the second highest peak on earth, to explore a man's battle for survival against the Taliban, nature, and himself. Our hero becomes a one-man army on a quest to avenge the deaths of his mountaineering team. His experience becomes a living nightmare, a lifetime journey, and a redefinition of the man."

The search for a screenwriter is underway/

Gianni Nunnari is producing the film.
