Not to be confused with Rogue Pictures project of the same name, Gold Circle Films is crying out for Mercy. The company has preemptively picked up the spec script from writer Chris Sparling. The script, which is described as having multiple twists, centers on a family intent on protecting their dying mother, and their individual financial interests, from the violent wrath of a religious sect. Gold Circle is fast-tracking the project, eying a shoot in early 2010. Peter Safran will produce along with Paul Brooks, who will oversee for Gold Circle.
