GAME OF THRONES star Emilia Clarke is currently in negotiations for the female lead. The film was written by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt (WANTED, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS) and will be set in France. Born from an idea the writers had when they visited the country in 2008 as part of a Hollywood outreach program, they felt that Marseilles was an incredibly cinematic location, and the perfect place for a crime story.
Alex Pettyfer, Matthew Goode and Garrett Hedlund were previously attached to the roles at various points during development, so this definitely the highest-profile cast they’ve considered.
Filming will begin Saturday in Marseilles.
