Gerard Butler and Frank Grillo are set to star in the Joe Carnahan-directed action thriller “Copshop” for Open Road Films and STXInternational.
The story unfolds a small-town police station becomes the unlikely battleground between a professional hitman (Butler), a smart rookie female cop, and a double-crossing con man (Grillo) who seeks refuge behind bars with no place left to run.
Casting for the female lead is in process. Kurt McLeod wrote the original screenplay with Carnahan working on the most recent draft.
Filming is set to commence in October in Georgia and New Mexico with buyers to be sought at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival. The main trio along with Mark Williams and Tai Duncan are producing.
