Sylvester Stallone is lending his muscle as a producer on the new survival film Lost On a Mountain in Maine. The film from director Andrew Boodhoo Kightlinger tells the true story of a 12-year-old boy who, when separated from his parents by a storm, must survive for nine day ordeal in the vast wilderness of Maine.
Luke David Blumm (Lola) stars as Donn Fendler, who captured his experiences in the memoir of the same name. Paul Sparks, Caitlin FitzGerald, and Ethan Slater complete the ensemble. Luke Paradise wrote the screenplay.
Kightlinger previously directed 2017’s Tater Tot & Patton, along with a number of short films.
Stallone is producing through his Balboa Productions banner, and Kightlinger went a long way in thanking them recently…
“Here’s a classic American movie you don’t see anymore — an emotional epic grounded by a tour-de-force performance from a 12-year-old star. We filmed in ACTUAL wilderness — up to our neck in rivers, hiking mountains — everyday on set, the cast and crew hoisted the banner for Stallone’s underdog ethos,” Boodhoo Kightlinger said in a statement. “In championing a theatrical release, Blue Fox is giving audiences something they’re hungry for — an incredible (and TRUE) tale of hope, grit, and family, chiseled with a modern edge.”
Blue Fox Entertainment will release Lost On a Mountain in Maine in theaters on November 1st.
