So how do you celebrate the return of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to the world of action? How bout inviting Billy Bob Thornton to the party? According to Variety, Thornton has signed on to co-star in this revenge actioin/drama/thriller about an ex-con bent on avenging the death of his brother, murdered 10 years earlier when the two were double-crossed during a heist…
Things get even more complicated and intense because while hunting down the people responsible for his brother’s death, the ex-con (Johnson) is also being pursued by several guys who want him dead.
Johnson’s character is called Driver, the guy hunting him down is simply called Killer. They haven’t hired any actor to play that role yet. While Thornton is set to play Cop, a veteran policeman who trails Driver as he races to settle with those responsible for the murder.
That’s interesting, so they basically don’t have birth names, only what people call them by. From here on out, call me.. blogger.. nah,.. Rama would do just fine.
To be directed by George Tillman Jr. (Men Of Honor, Notorious) The script was written by Tony Gayton
