Ron Perlman, star of
Hellboy, is to star in the independent feature
Coldwater, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The project, helmed by music video director Sean Michael Beyer, is described as a fictional story based on the reality of juvenile boot camps, where the punishment is often much greater than the crime.
Perlman will play the charming but sadistic ranch leader 'The Colonel'. Filming is scheduled to begin June 1 in rural Northern California.
