Frank Grillo Will Star in The New Action Movie MR-9
Frank Grillo (Captain America, The Purge, Boss Level, Copshop) seems to keep very busy as an actor making action films. It seems like he’s always being cast in a new film project! Well, his most recent project is a new action film titled MR-9.
The movie is based on the popular Masud Rana novels written by late novelist Qazi Anwar Hussain and Grillo is set to play the “nemesis of secret agent Rana — code name MR-9 — of the Bangladesh Counter Intelligence Agency.”
This film is an adaptation of the original first novel Masud Rana: Dhongsho Pahar (The Hill of Destruction) and it’s being written and directed by Asif Akbar. There are 468 books in the series!
There are no details on the story, but the books tell the adventures of its hero, Masud Rana, “an international espionage agent of Bangladeshi origin, closely resembling James Bond in his expertise with weapons and love for women.”
The movie is starting production and it will shoot in the U.S. and Bangladesh.
