Mel Gibson and Colin Farrell Set To Star in Director Tommy Wirkola's WAR PIGS
Mel Gibson and Colin Farrell are set to star in a new action-thriller called War Pigs, which comes from director Tommy Wirkola. Wirkola is best known for his films Dead Snow, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and What Happened to Monday?.
The story follows a group of disillusioned ex-marines who "go on one last mission to get revenge on the cartel that murdered one of their own while making off with millions of dollars in drug money."
Farrell will take on the role of a character named Drex and Gibson will play The Pastor. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers) is producing the film, which was written by Nick Ball and John Niven.
Before Gibson jumps on board this project he is set to make a World War II navy film called Destroyer, about the ship that would not die. As for Farrell, he recently wrapped the Steve McQueen-directed Widows and the Tim Burton-directed Dumbo.
