Actors Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Avengers), Eva Green (Casino Royale), and Maria Pedraza (Money Heist) have been hired to star in the upcoming thriller Just Play Dead. The film is being directed by Gary Fleder (Homefront, Runaway Jury, Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead) and written by Dan Gordon (Rambo: Last Blood, The Hurricane).

Highland Film Group is handling international sales rights and launching the film in Cannes.

In Just Play Dead, when wealthy criminal mastermind Jack Wolfe (Jackson) is cornered by the Feds, he plans to fake his own death and claim the $30 million life insurance payout with his “grieving” wife Nora (Green), while framing her surfer lover Chad for his murder.

But Nora is cooking up a scheme of her own: kill Jack for real, frame Chad and keep the fortune for herself. As lies unravel, Nora and Jack scramble to outsmart one another, leaving one burning question: who will come out on top in this twisted game of life and death?

Stay tuned for updates on the film.
