Oscar Nominee Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond”, “In America”) will play a mixed martial-arts coach in the Mandalay Independent Pictures’ production “Get Some”.

According to Variety, Hounsou plays the coach and mentor to an Iowa native (Sean Faris) who moves to Orlando and joins a no-holds-barred “Fight Club”-style group for teens. Amber Heard (“Alpha Dog”) plays his girlfriend, and Cam Gigandet (“The O.C.”) has been cast as his best friend.

Chris Hauty wrote the screenplay, with Robert Munic and Gavin O’Connor penning later drafts.
