Gerard Butler will follow up his turn in this year’s fun but hokey “Angel Has Fallen” with, well, something that sounds curiously similar in tone.
“The Plane”, described by Deadline as an “elevated thriller” (nice one!), is a Charles Cumming and JP Davis-penned piece about a commercial pilot who after a heroic job of successfully landing his storm-damaged aircraft in a war zone, finds himself caught between the agendas of multiple militia who are planning to take the plane and its passengers’ hostage.
Butler plays the pilot, of course, in a film based on Cumming’s book of the same name.
Gerard Butler has found his latest action vehicle in the form of The Plane, an elevated action thriller that MadRiver International is launching at AFM next week.
“Transformers” producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is shepherding the pic, alongside his partner Mark Vahradian, MadRiver Pictures’ arc Butan and Ara Keshishian, and Butler an Alan Siegel under their G-Base banner.
