The Count Is An American Revolutionary?

Movies
Jim Caviezel ("The Count of Monte Cristo") will topline "Rebels," reports Variety.

David Cunningham ("To End All Wars") is to direct the historical drama.

The story centers on the American Revolutionary figure Ethan Allen, the son of common settlers who had purchased a land grant in the Green Mountains, which would one day become Vermont. Film recounts the events which fueled the passions of a young band of New England rebels who struggled to overcome the objections of fellow colonists as they stood against the tyranny of British rule.

The movie is to begin filming in late July.
