'Devotion' star glenpowell is joining Anthony Hopkins in the new action thriller film 'Locked'.
In the film industry, when a good story is created, prequels, sequels, and sometimes remakes are thrown up after the original piece has premiered. In the case of ZQ Entertainment and Raimi Productions, the Argentinian action thriller 4X4 is set for a remake titled Locked.
Based on the original film written by Mariano Cohn and directed by Gaston Duprat, Locked will follow a young thief who breaks into a luxury car to make away with valuables, only to find himself ensnared in a trap set by a shady fellow. While speaking about the script and what the newly cast leads can do with it, Sam Raimi, who is set to produce the film, revealed that the action thriller’s script leaves ample room for artistic expression from the actors.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "Dave Yarovesky so elevated the material on Nightbooks, and he was our first choice for this. The script was so good and he’s such a good communicator that we were able to interest Anthony Hopkins, who for my generation is just about the greatest actor ever. Glen’s character has got a soul to him that’s slowly revealed as the picture goes on.
While teasing audiences, Raimi continued, “Because his time is at hand. He’s told by Sir Anthony Hopkins’ character that this will be it for him, and so the self-reflection is an element through the course of this adventure. But this is not an emotional piece as much as it is an action tension piece, a nonstop thrill ride with characters at the center you learn to care about. That will be a satisfying experience for the audience.
The screenplay for Locked is written by Michael Arlen Ross. Producing the film for Raimi Productions are Raimi and Zainab Azizi. Martin J. Barab executive produces alongside Cohn and Duprat, Ara Keshishian and Petr Jakl will produce for ZQ Entertainment.
