New Sparta Films (NSF) is delighted to announce its involvement in the financing of Martin Koolhoven’s Brimstone.


“Retribution is coming”


The film, written and directed by Koolhoven and produced by Els Vandervorst of N279 Productions, stars Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska, Robert Pattinson and Carice van Houten and is set to commence shooting in Germany and Spain in June 2015 with a second period of shooting in Romania later in the year.


Brimstone is a triumphant epic of survival, set in the searing wilds of the badlands, the menacing inferno of the Old American West. It is a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a Hell on earth.


Set against the backdrop of the late 19th Century frontier territory lawlessness, this is a powerful epic thriller with a compelling story and an engaging central female character on a life-threatening mission to escape from, and exact revenge upon, an enigmatic, evil preacher. It is a dark tale, but gripping and emotionally fulfilling.


NSF’s Managing Director, Nicki Hattingh, said; “We are absolutely thrilled to be involved in the financing of such a wonderful project. The script is compelling, engaging and holds the reader captive with unexpected twists and turns during the tense and thrilling roller-coaster ride through the Wild West. We are fortunate and delighted to be working with such a charismatic and brilliant cast and very much look forward to seeing the film evolve from script to screen.”
