Damian Shannon and Mark Swift are rewriting Paramount's crime drama "Inland Saints," which Joel Schumacher will direct.

Variety says the original project by Kurt Sutter focused on a street gang leader who falls for the daughter of a detective hired to bring down the criminals.

According to the trade, screenwriters Shannon and Swift are now revamping the film, turning it into an action horror flick set in a small town ruled by gangs. Further details remain unknown at this point.

Quite a different approach indeed!

Shannon and Swift's credits include 2003's "Freddy vs. Jason." They also recently wrote the script for Marcus Nispel's "Friday the 13th" remake.
