Simon Evans will be directing Alex Pettyfer in his directorial debut "Hunters in the Dark". "Hunters in the Dark" focuses on an Englishman adrift in Cambodia who is eager to sidestep a life of quiet desperation as a small-town teacher. The movie is based on British novelist Lawrence Osborne's novel of the same name.

Simon Evans said in a statement "Shot against the backdrop of modern Cambodia, a country that is itself trying to construct a new face to mask the horrors it endured in the second half of the 20th century "Hunters" will explore identity, atonement and the dark currents that flow underneath human nature and fight back when we try to change our path."

"Hunters" is written by Lawrence Osborne himself with Simon Evans directing. Axel Kuschevatzky, Phin Glynn, Alex Pettyfer, James Ireland, and Cindy Teperman.Jason Moring will serve as an executive producer on the project.
