The story revolves around a group of mercenaries who crash-land on a remote snow summit. Taking refuge from wolves in a long-abandoned fortress, the men find a concealed pit with a box wrapped in chains.
Friend, best known for "Homeland" and "The Young Victoria", will essay the role of the leader of the group, Liev. Durand is one of the mercenaries and Martell is the titular boy in the iron box.
Friend's latest work is "Jurassic World Rebirth". Directed by Gareth Edwards, it was written by David Koepp and released earlier this year. It also starred Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, among others.
