Jeffrey Dean Morgan, last seen heading up The Losers, has signed on to star in the upcoming action film, The Courier.
The Courier will be directed by Hany Abu-Assad (Paradise Now) from a script penned by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt.
According to Deadline, Morgan will play a courier who has taken on improbable missions and never missed a drop. He’s hired to deliver a briefcase to a notorious underworld figure that can’t be found. The courier finds himself pursued by corrupt cops, double-crossing feds and rival crime bosses.
The plot seems a tad bland but, with Morgan cast in the lead role, hopefully he’ll be able to inject some life into the narrative during it’s transition to the big-screen.
The Courier will be financed by Arclight Films, with production expected to start in September.
