Filmmaker James DeMonaco is set to direct Vigilant for Miramax. The project centers on a pilot program that turns crime fighting into a cash game for ordinary citizens.
In the story a pilot program rewards people for capturing wanted criminals. As the nation moves toward a nationwide vote the boundary between hero and hunter fades and sanctioned chaos looms.
DeMonaco is writing with Krystal and Alon Ziv after an original screenplay by Tyler Stevens and Wade Stanton. Sébastien K. Lemercier is producing. Miramax CEO Jonathan Glickman brought the project from his former company Panoramic.
Miramax Film Group President Ali Loewy and VP of Film Arianna D’Andrea are overseeing the film. DeMonaco is represented by UTA while Stevens and Stanton are represented by WME Range and Goodman Genow Schenkman Smelkinson & Christopher.
