Jim Mickle to helm Legendary's 'God Country' movie

'Sweet Tooth' creator Jim Mickle will next tackle fantasy feature 'God Country' for Legendary. The movie is an adaptation of a comic written by Donny Cates and published by Image Comics, according to the reports.
Mickle will direct the film from a screenplay adapted by Cates.
'God Country' follows Emmet Quinlan, an old widower afflicted with dementia and violent outbursts.
When a tornado hits his West Texas town, Quinlan is rejuvenated thanks to an enchanted sword he finds in the wreckage. Which is good as a host of dastardly creatures are about to descend on what remains of the town.
Lee Kramer and Jon Kramer from AfterShock Media will produce along with Mickle and Linda Moran.
