Imagine this –
Owen Wilson is attached to star in something described as a
new action drama. Wait, what?
No romantic comedy for Wilson? Guess not. So, we're here to share the happy news with you, because you'll soon have a chance to watch Wilson in a project titled
The Coup.
The Coup is an intense thriller centered on an American family that moves to Southeast Asia and finds themselves embroiled in a violent coup where rebels mercilessly attack the city.
The good thing is
John Erick Dowdle is already on board to direct the whole thing, and he's also responsible for the script which he co-wrote with his brother
Drew Dowdle.
At this moment we also know that Crime Scene Pictures' Adam Ripp and Rob Paris are financing and have teamed up with Steve Alexander and Drew Dowdle to produce.
Here's what they had to say about Wilson's involvement:
“We love the relentless energy of the Dowdle Brothers' script – and their vision for dropping Owen in the midst of the chaos is truly inspired.”
Chaos? Whatever…
Filming on The Coup will begin in October in Southeast Asia.
