Sharlto Copley to Star in HARDCORE POV Action Film

District 9 star Sharlto Copley is set to play the hero in a new POV action film written and directed by Russian filmmaker Ilya Naishuller. The movie is called Hardcore, and it is described as being an inventive first-person POV action movie. The movie is being produced by fellow Russian filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted).

You might remember a short film called Insane Office Escape and a music video called Bad Motherfucker.  These films were shot using the POV technique and Naishuller is the guy that made them, so I'm sure the movie is going to be incredibly cool. I love that they got Copley to play the lead character in it as well. That guy is an awesome actor. 

There are no details for the film yet, but The Wrap says that the "stylized action movie will feature sci-fi elements and find Copley killing a lot of bad guys to save a damsel in distress."

Copley will next be seen in Elysium and Oldboy.  Do you think a movie entirely shot in POV will work?
