Jamie Foxx, Robert De Niro, Scott Eastwood, John Leguizamo Set To Star in The Action Film TIN SOLDIER
Jamie Foxx, Robert De Niro, Scott Eastwood, and John Leguizamo are set to star in a new action-thriller titled Tin Soldier, which starts shooting next week in Greece. That’s quite the impressive cast!
The movie tells the story of “The Bokushi (Foxx), who preaches to hundreds of veterans who have been drawn to the promise of protection and purpose under him. Surrounded by his devout military-trained followers, he has built an impenetrable fortress and amassed an arsenal of weapons. After several failed infiltration attempts, the government – in the form of military operative Emmanuel Ashburn (De Niro) – recruits Nash Cavanaugh (Eastwood), an ex-special forces asset, who was once a disciple of The Bokushi. Nash agrees to use his vulnerable past and insider knowledge of the enigmatic leader to finally get revenge on the man who took everything from him, including the love of his life.”
That sounds like it’ll make for an interesting movie and I’m curious to see how this story plays out. It’s being directed by Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) from a script that he wrote with Jess Fuerst.
Producers Keith Kjarval (Dragged Across Concrete) and Steven Chasman (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) said in a statement: “As longtime friends, working with Brad (Furman) to craft an inspired and clever action film is a dream come true as we have formed a family along the way. Brad and Jess (Fuerst) have written such a powerful screenplay that has allowed us to put together an amazing diverse group of actors. With such incredible talent, this is going to be a wild ride.”
Furman added: “I am honored to be a part of the team behind such an ambitious, important and deeply personal work in Tin Soldier. With awe-inspiring settings and set pieces built for the big screen, this is an original story about struggle, sacrifice and the power of love and acceptance. To collaborate with a cast of this caliber is beyond humbling. The individual inspiration they have brought to each role is like nothing I have seen before. This has been an exciting journey and my hope is the film is even more exciting for audiences around the world.”
