(UTV | UNITED STATES) – Jamie Foxx, Robert De Niro, Scott Eastwood and John Leguizamo are set to star in the indie action feature “Tin Soldier” which begins filming next week in Greece.
Foxx plays The Bokushi, a man preaches to hundreds of veterans who have been drawn to the promise of protection and purpose under him. Surrounded by devout military-trained followers, he has built an impenetrable fortress and amassed an arsenal of weapons.
After several failed infiltration attempts, military operative Emmanuel Ashburn (De Niro) recruits ex-special forces asset and ex-Bokushi disciple Nash Cavanaugh (Eastwood) to have a go. Nash agrees to use his vulnerable past and insider knowledge to get revenge on the man who took everything from him.
Brad Furman (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) is directing from his script with Jess Fuerst. Keith Kjarval, Steven Chasman and Brad Feinstein will produce.
