Butler Flocks To "The Raven"

Gerard Butler is in talks to star in sci-fi action thriller "The Raven" says Heat Vision.

The story focuses on a young man with powers being chased around downtown Los Angeles by robotic police drones, while a giant police ship coordinates the effort from the skies above.

Ricardo de Montreuil calls action using a script by Michael Gilio and Justin Marks.

The film will be based on de Montreuil's 2010 short film which you can see here.

Stephen Levinson and Mark Wahlberg are producing the movie.

Liam Hemsworth ("The Hunger Games," "The Expendables 2") was previously attached, but that is no longer the case.

Production aims to begin later this year.
