Lightstorm Entertainment principals James Cameron and Jon Landau have come aboard Stephen Lang‘s military movie “Beyond Glory” as executive producers, TheWrap has learned.
Larry Brand directed the finished film, which was written by and stars Lang, who played the villain in Cameron’s “Avatar.”
Lang originally adapted “Beyond Glory” as a play from journalist Larry Smith’s book of the same name. The film was adapted from the play, and blends performances from stages around the world, most notably, nuclear carriers in the Persian Gulf. The result is a startling synthesis of cinema and theater that emerges from compelling first-hand accounts of World War II, Korea and Vietnam in the words of eight Medal of Honor recipients.
