Thomas Jane Set to Star in the Action Thriller RELENTLESS
Thomas Jane is set to star in a new action-thriller titled Relentless. He will take on the role of a former U.S. Army Green Beret who, after smugglers steal his boat and leave him for dead, gets caught between warring crime gangs as he fights to save the life of a young girl.
Thomas Jane is also producing the film alongside Courtney Lauren Penn with whom he co-founded the production company Renegade Entertainment. The script for the film came from Chuck Hustmyre, who spent 22 years in law enforcement and retired as a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). He specialized in “violent crime, narcotics, and fugitive investigations.”
Hustmyre previously wrote the action film Disturbing the Peace, starring Guy Pearce, and the Lionsgate films House of the Rising Sun starring Dave Bautista and End of a Gun starring Steven Seagal.
Jane said in a statement: “I call this script my ‘Dr Stan Golden’, because a ‘great action screenplay,’ is a bit of an oxymoron in this town, and like that great dentist, just as rare.”
Hustmyre added: “I’m excited to be working with Thomas Jane on this picture. I’ve admired his work for years, and I know he’s the perfect actor to bring this complex character to life.”
Penn said: “There is always uncompromising authenticity to the material created by Chuck and Relentless raises the bar. It’s an adrenaline fueled story with action and suspense derived from a man’s unwavering, single minded pursuit. It was clear right away that Thomas in this dimension is an absolutely perfect fit.”
