A reboot of Sylvester Stallone’s action classic “Cliffhanger” is currently in production in Munich, Germany, and the Dolemite Mountains in Italy, with Lily James and Pierce Brosnan starring as father/daughter mountain climbing team Ray and Naomi Cooper.

The reboot was originally announced last year to feature Stallone returning in his original role, according to Deadline. The cast now only includes Brosnan, James, Tiger Free, Franz Rogowski, Shubham Saraf, Assaad Bouab, Suzy Bemba and Bruno Gouery.

In the new film reboot, Naomi (James)  is haunted by a past climbing accident (the same trauma that haunted Sylvester Stallone’s character in the 1993 film). The Coopers face kidnappers in the Dolemite Mountains in the reboot, while in the 1993 film, mountain climbers were forced to help hijackers recover money that fell in the mountain range during a plane crash.

The project hails from Rocket Science in partnership with Thank You Pictures and Supernix, with Ana Lily Amirpur writing the new film’s story.
