Denzel Washington is in talks to star in the drama thriller “Unstoppable.”
Tony Scott will direct from Mark Bomback‘s screenplay which is based on real events.

They're chasing the runaway train in a separate locomotive and need to bring it under control before it derails on a curve and causes a toxic spill that will decimate a town.
