Lee Thomas Novel “The German” to be Reincarnated as Feature Film “Perpetual”
Out “Game of Thrones” actor Ross Mullan (“White Walker”) Signs On, Praises Project
“The German”, the chilling 2011 horror/suspense novel by Lee Thomas, a Bram Stoker and two-time Lambda Literary Award winner, is about to become a feature film. While “The German” was set in post WWII small town America, the film incarnation is about a Syrian and takes place in present day, Trump era U.S.A.-U.S.A.-U.S.A.
Part “Fargo,” part “Brokeback Mountain,” part “Stranger Things,” part “Mississippi Burning,” “Perpetual”, tells the story of small town tensions erupting into scenes of vicious vigilante vengeance as a sheriff hunts down a brutal killer who leaves Islamist calling cards in the remains of his victims, insinuating a private Holy War against America. As the town searches for answers, all eyes turn toward a reclusive foreigner, living in their midst.
In a subtle, supernatural twist, the main character is not only Syrian and gay, but also immortal, blessed/cursed with eternal life.
Out Canadian-British stage and screen actor Ross Mullan, now most famous for his role as the White Walker* on “Game of Thrones” (seasons 2 – 4), was the first to sign on and will play one of the deputies in the Sheriff’s team.
“Perpetual” will shoot next year in northern Utah, with the support of the Utah Film Office.
Not only is “Perpetual” the very modern western gothic horror story of a small town’s descent into racism, homophobia, xenophobia and resulting terror, “Perpetual” is also a blistering commentary on the insidious dark side of Americana.
