Billy Bob Thornton will star opposite Dwayne Johnson in Faster says Variety.Johnson is set to play Driver, an ex-con out a mission to avenge the murder of his brother after they were double-crossed during a heist years earlier. Thornton will play the character Cop, a veteran police officer who tracks Driver as he races to find out who was responsible for the murder. Another character in the film, yet to be cast, is Killer, an egocentric assassin who's targeting Driver.
The script was written by Joe and Tony Gayton
George Tillman Jr., director of the rapper biopic Notorious, will call the shots on the action drama which begins production early next year.
Should be an interesting on screen match up between The Rock and Thornton--Can't wait to see who is cast as Killer.
Tillman is also in line to bring Julia Wertz' comic book style novel "I Saw You" to the big screen
