Woody Harrelson has joined the international cast of "The Machinist" director Brad Anderson's contemporary crime thriller "Trans-Siberian" for Filmax.
The story focuses on an American couple that travels on the famous Trans-Siberian train from Vladivostok to Moscow and encounters another couple.
What seems to be a simple train journey soon turns into a thrilling chase full of deception and murder as it becomes clear that not everybody is who they seem.
According to the trades, Samantha Morton ("In America", "Minority Report") will play Harrelson's wife, with Kate Mara ("Zoom", "Brokeback Mountain") and Spanish hunk Eduardo Noriega ("The Devil's Backbone", "Open Your Eyes") are playing the couple opposite them.
Ben Kingsley and Thomas Kretschmann will play Russian police officers hot on the trail of the two couples. Filming on the $15-$20 million project begins next Monday in Beijing, Russia and Lithuania.
