Netflix and ‘Stake Land’ Director Jim Mickle Re-Teaming to Slay Monsters in ‘God Country’ Film Adaptation

Netflix and Jim Mickle (Stake Land, “Sweet Tooth”) are once again joining forces for another comic book adaptation, this time coming together to adapt God Country as a feature film.

Based on a screenplay adapted by comic creator Donny Cates and Mickle, Jim Mickle will be directing the feature film adaptation of the comic book series from Image Comics.

“Published in 2017, God Country is about an aging man with dementia who acquires a mythical sword when a tornado blows through his town. While the sword cures him of his disease, he must use it to protect his family against terrifying otherworldly creatures seeking its power.”

The film is a Legendary and AfterShock Media production.

God Country was a six-issue comic series from Image.
