Director Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, Mayhem) is joining forces with Netflix for Point Blank, a remake of the 2010 French action-thriller of the same name. As we recently learned, Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Civil War) and Frank Grillo (The Purge: Anarchy) are on board to star, and Variety updates that Marcia Gay Harden (The Mist) has joined them.
Teyonah Parris, Boris McGiver, and Markice Moore have also joined the cast.
“The pic tells the story of the unlikely pairing of Paul (Mackie), an emergency room nurse, and Abe (Grillo), a wanted murder suspect, as they go toe to toe with rival gangsters and corrupt cops in a deadly race to save the lives of Paul’s kidnapped wife and unborn son.”
Production is expected to begin this Summer.
Lynch is directing from a script penned by Adam G. Simon (Man Down), with Joe Carnahan (The Grey) on board to produce along with Grillo.
