Colin Farrell (Phone Booth, Alexander) is set to star opposite Noomi Rapace (The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, Prometheus) in a new action thriller called Dead Man Down, which is due to start shooting early next year. The $30m film will see Rapace re-team with Niels Arden Oplev, the director of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, in which she played Lisbeth Salander. Farrell plays a gangster called Victor, who works for an underground crime lord in New York City. He is seduced and blackmailed by a woman named Beatrice (Rapace) who is looking for revenge after becoming the victim of a crime.
The screenplay has been written by J.H. Wyman, who writes and executive produces the sci-fi TV series Fringe. Dead Man Down’s producer, Neal H. Moritz (I Am Legend, Fast & Furious), is currently working on the Total Recall remake with Farrell and said in a statement: “I could not be any more excited about Dead Man Down and the team we have assembled. Wyman has written a terrific script, Colin and Noomi are perfect casting and Niels is a truly gifted filmmaker.”
Noomi Rapace can next be seen in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opposite Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law, which is released in the UK on December 16th. Total Recall, starring Colin Farrell, will be out next August.
