Bob Odenkirk is reprising his role as mild-mannered family man who is secretly a former government assassin, while Sharon Stone is cast as the stone-cold villainess of the piece. Connie Nielsen and Christopher Lloyd are reprising their roles of the family man’s wife and father, respectively.

Plot details are being kept secret, but sources say that Hanks will play a corrupt sheriff with none too nice ambitions.

Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto, known for his horror and action fare such as May the Devil Take You and segments of the V/H/S installments, is directing the feature, which shoots this month. The screenplay is by Derek Kolstad, Aaron Rabin, Odenkirk and Umair Aleem.

Odenkirk is also producing the action thriller, joining Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, who are producing via their Universal-based 87North. Marc Provissiero ( No Hard Feelings ) of Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment and Braden Aftergood of Eighty Two Films are producing as well.
