Frontière(s) director and Hitman punching bag, French director Xavier Gens is about to get back on that Hollywood bike after being shoved of it and direct a PA film called Fallout set around a New York apartment building-turned-shelter.

It is billed as "a thriller that combines elements of'Assault on Precinct 13 with Lord of the Flies in a story of survival."

'"Xavier's vision for this film is extraordinary. He brings a visual edge to this fascinating exploration of the human condition," commented producer Ross Dinerstein.

"With a collective of 'End of the World' movies hitting the theatres presently, this film will undoubtedly stand out like a ravenous Pit bull in a school playground... brace yourselves cause this film has a serious bite to it!" said Producer Darryn Welch.

CFI's Carmichael added: 'Xavier is a super talented, commercial filmmaker and he's a perfect match for this terrifying material. It's going to be a very stylish genre film and we're extremely excited to be working with him, Ross and Darryn.'

Bonne chance à notre ami. We hope you don't get bounced around again like last time.
