According to Variety, director Phillip Noyce (Clear and Present Danger, The Quiet American) is set to helm Killer 10, a World War II action-adventure film from Thunder Road Pictures and Arclight Films.
The project, scripted by Paul Staheli (Guardians of the Tomb) and Justin Monjo (Jungle), follows “a gang of expat criminals who are coerced into a suicide mission behind enemy lines to destroy a game-changing chemical weapon being developed by the Nazis and the Japanese.”
“Arclight has been developing this fantastic script for five years and working to frame a story that will have great relevance and huge commercial and cultural impact in both China and the rest of the world,” said producer and Arclight CEO Gary Hamilton, who came up with the original concept. “The ensemble film will feature five movie stars from China and five from the U.S. and Australia to deliver the strongest possible talent for a global audience.”
Principal photography on Killer 10 is set to get underway in the spring, and the search is now underway for an ensemble cast of Chinese and American actors.
