Above The Law

Jamie Foxx is in negotiations to star opposite Gerard Butler in the psychological thriller "Law Abiding Citizen" says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story sees a successful assistant D.A. (Butler) in the middle of a vigilante plot put in motion by a traumatized victim of the legal system (Foxx). Foxx's character is devastated to learn that, because of a plea bargain, one of his wife and daughter's murderers will be set free. So he unleashes revenge on the killers and those who made the deal.

Frank Darabont is calling action and co-writing the script with Kurt Wimmer.

How great does this project sound?--Putting Foxx in another every man role ala Collateral-with a great director behind him...
