Kitsch Goes Bad As He Takes "Exit 147"

Taylor Kitsch ("John Carter," "Battleship") is attached to star in the thriller "Exit 147" says Bloody Disgusting.

The story follows a man driving across the desert at night who is arrested by a small town sheriff (Kitsch) and held captive as part of his own sadistic game.

Julian Jarrold ("Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1974") is attached to direct from a script by Travis Milloy ("Pandorum").

Kitsch has two films due for release this year--the biopic Lone Survivor is currently in post-production and filming is under way on The Grand Seduction, a comedy co-starring Brendan Gleeson.
