We’re always on the lookout for interesting films currently gearing up for production, and we’ve been contacted by the team behind the movie The Legend of Hohokam with some news on directors circling the project.

The Hohokam people disappeared from their Arizona homeland in the 15th century and this new film will tell their story, we’re promised, in the style of Dances with Wolves and Apocalypto.  There’s sure to be some outstanding location work and the filmmakers describe the premise thus,

The film is action packed romantic character driven story of the Hohokam tribe and what may have happened to them.

So far Tonantzin Carmelo has signed up and Raw Leiba, soon to be seen in the new Conan film, is on board in a producing capacity and the directors currently being sought include Seth Grossman who was behind 2009’s Butterfly Effect:Revelations and Ernest Dickerson, a director who has worked on some of the finest US TV series of recent years and is currently shooting an episode of The Walking Dead.

More on this one as we get it.
