A couple of websites have mentioned today that the Freedom Films feature ‘Thunder Run’, which stars Sam Worthington, Gerard Butler and Matthew McConaughey, will be shooting May 1, 2012 to July 15, 2012 in Baton Rouge.

Collider.com have been to the American Film Market to search out goodies and they’ve come up trumps for Sam’s fans with a promo poster for ‘Thunder Run’.
THR reports that Sam Worthington, Gerard Butler and Matthew McConaughey are set to star in the Freedom Films movie ‘Thunder Run’
According to Freedom Films, Simon West is to direct, with Brian Presley, Carissa Buffel, Kevin Matusow and Jib Polhemus set to produce, while Hyde Park International is handling international sales and launching the title at AFM.
The movie, which is to be a fully CG/3D project, is an adaptation of the novel ‘Thunder Run – The Armoured Strike To Capture Bagdhad’ by Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent David Zucchino, working with a script written by Robert Port and Ken Nolan.
The Graphic Film Company are to bring their own facial-capture technology to the project (as used on West’s upcoming ‘Night of the Living Dead: Origins’ 3D movie), accompanied by the use of the same motion capture technology employed in filming ‘Avatar’.
Sam and his co-stars performances will consist mostly of voicework but there will be green-screen aspects as well.
This is what producer Brian Presley told THR:
“What we capture in our cameras will be them. It’ll have a stylized effect to it but we are shooting them. We’re not ageing them down like Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy, it’ll be them for two hours in a highly intense tank battle.
The scope of the movie is going to feel huge and the goal is to appeal to the ‘Call of Duty’ world. It’s not going to have a video game world feel but to have a stylized look to it.
We’re locked and loaded and will shoot next year.”
