Christian Slater Joins John Cena and Alison Brie in Action Comedy FREELANCE
Christian Slater, best known for his roles in film and TV in Heathers, Broken Arrow, Mr. Robot, and Dr. Death, has joined the cast of the action comedy Freelance. He joins previously cast John Cena and Alison Brie, as well as Juan Pablo Raba in the film, which is being directed by Pierre Morel (Taken).
Freelance follows a special forces operator (Cena) who decides to retire from the Army and start a family back in the states. After several years of mortgage payments, school drop offs, backyard barbecues and trying to conform to life in suburbia, he decides to come out of retirement to take a gig providing security for a female journalist (Brie) as she interviews a cruel dictator who may or may not have ordered the attack on him and his men. When a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, the three are forced to escape into the jungle where they must survive the elements, the military and one another.
It is unknown what role Slater will take on, but he’s a great actor, and he will bring a great component to the film. Freelance is currently shooting in Columbia.
