Taylor Kitsch Takes "Exit 147"

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

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 ("Brideshead Revisited") directs using a script by Travis Milloy ("Pandorum").

 As a huge Kitsch fan from his time as Riggins on the TV Series Friday Night Lights I know he's up to the challenge that "Exit" brings.

Production begins in the first half of 2014.
