Striking while his career iron is still heating up, Brit newcomer James Bloor is following his unlikely role in Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel Leatherface with some more American genre action. He's signed on for North, a post-apocalyptic yarn also starring Jacob Lofland , Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sophie Kennedy Clark{
Documentarian Matthew Ogens is making the switch to fiction to direct the film. Its sketchy plot details so far reveal a group of teenagers striking out into the dangerous, blasted unknown in the wake of a cataclysm. Chris Walla of the band Death Cab For Cutie is providing the soundtrack.
Bloor's only screen acting credits so far are a two-part DCI Banks story and a short based on Hansel And Gretel. In Leatherface he's reportedly playing one of three teenagers who might grow into the chainsaw-wielding maniac.
North is currently shooting in Detroit.
