Action movie favorites Gerard Butler and Frank Grillo are set to star in Joe Carnahan‘s new action thriller Copshop, it was announced Tuesday by Open Road Films and STXinternational.

The action unfolds inside a small-town police station that becomes the unlikely battleground between a professional hitman (Butler), a smart rookie cop, and a double-crossing con man (Grillo) who seeks refuge behind bars with no place left to run.

The film’s female lead — the cop — has not been cast yet, but it sounds like a fun role for a rising young actress looking to get her hands dirty.

The original screenplay was written by Kurt McLeod based on a story that he and Mark Williams came up with, though Carnahan penned the most recent draft. Williams and Tai Duncan will produce on behalf of Zero Gravity Management alongside Warren Goz and Eric Gold of Sculptor Media, Butler and Alan Siegel of G-BASE Productions, and Carnahan and Grillo of WarParty Films. Executive producers are James Masciello, Matthew Sidari and Tom Ortenberg for Open Road Films.

Production is slated to start in October, and filming will take place in Georgia and New Mexico. STX will present the project to buyers virtually at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival. Open Road Films will release the movie theatrically in the U.S. while STXinternational will handle foreign sales and release the film itself in the UK and Ireland.

I typically avoid Butler’s films like the plague but this looks like a blast. He looks like fun here. And Grillo’s character seems like a nice change of pace for him.

Assault on Precinct 13 (I enjoy both) vibes with this. Looks fun to me.
