Cast Set For "Kidnapping Freddy Heineken"

Sam Worthington, Jim Sturgess, Ryan Kwanten, and Dutch actor Mark van Eeuwen are set to join Anthony Hopkins in the action-thriller "Kidnapping Freddy Heineken" says Variety.

The story charts the 1983 kidnapping of Dutch beer magnate Freddy Heineken and his driver Ab Doderer. The two were released after payment of a record ransom of around $50 million.

Daniel Alfredson ("The Girl Who Played with Fire") directs from an adapted script by William Brookfield ("Rough Magic") based on a book by author Peter R. de Vries.

Howard Meltzer, Judy Cairo and Michael A. Simpson will produce.

Production begins in late October in Belgium.
