Dennehy, Lequizamo, Futterman, Glover, Dyrdek for Righteous Kill
Righteous Kill is set to begin filming this Tuesday in Connecticut and New York with Carla Gugino, 50 Cent and Donnie Wahlberg also on board.
The film, scripted by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man), follows long time police detectives as they investigate a series of vigilante killings in New York City. Cocoon's Brian Dennehy is still in negotiations to join the cast.
Jon Avnet, who you may remember him for a little film called Fried Green Tomatoes, will direct. . The director has been fiddling with television projects the last half-decade to make a grand return to film with Righteous Kill being the first of many silver screen projects he will stand behind the camera for.
Righteous Kill is the second teaming for Nu Image/Millennium with Overture, which partnered on the comedy-caper Mad Money with Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, and Katie Holmes.
