Morgan Freeman and Cole Hauser Set to Star in the Action Thriller MUTI
Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby) and Cole Hauser (Yellowstone) have signed on to star in an upcoming action thriller titled Muti. The film is being directed by Bad Boys and Midnight Run scribe George Gallo.
The story follows “Detective Boyd (Hauser), who, unable to process the death of his daughter, embarks on a hunt for a serial killer who murders according to a brutal tribal ritual: Muti. The only person who can help Boyd is professor Mackles (Freeman), an anthropologist who hides an unspeakable secret. The line between sanity and madness thins as Boyd goes deeper into the killer’s world.”
The movie also co-stars Peter Stormare (Fargo) and former NFL tight end turned actor Vernon Davis. The screenplay was written by Bob Bowersox, Jennifer Lemmon, Francesco Cinquemani, Giorgia Iannone, Luca Giliberto and Ferdinando Dell’Omo. It is based on a story by Joe Lemmon and Cinquemani.
Producer Andrea Iervolino said in a statement, “A high level of intelligence and sophistication underpins the tension and intensity of Muti. Having Morgan and Cole playing off one another keeps the dial up in unrelenting fashion throughout the twisting ride. We’re happy to make this a unique multinational collaboration, shooting in Mississippi and Italy.”
Freeman and Hauser are both fantastic actors, and I hope that this actually ends up being a great film project for them.
