Riding on his breakout success with Warfare, which he wrote and directed with Alex Garland, filmmaker Ray Mendoza will next direct Western Drama Blood On the Promontory, from Evan Cooper's script.

The film follows five convicts shackled together by the foot as they attempt to escape through the mountains following a violent train robbery.

Mendoza, a former Navy SEAL, is a unique voice whose filmmaking aesthetic is shaped by his army background. His Warfare is a critically acclaimed action drama inspired by his experiences as a combatant deployed in Iraq. Mendoza has also worked on The Terminal List: Dark Wolf for Prime Video. Nina Yang Bongiovi, Glenn Kleczkowski, Mark Gillard, and Paul Hadad are producing Blood On the Promontory under Big Newport Studios.
