Actors Aaron Paul, Luke Evans and Daniel Zovatto have joined Russell Crowe in the action-thriller 'Bear Country', helmed by Derrick Borte.
Nina Dobrev and Teresa Palmer also star in the ensemble movie, which is currently being shot in the Australian state of Queensland.
Bear Country follows an ageing but formidable club owner, Manco Kapak (Crowe) who has been robbed by a masked gunman. Now, his aspirations of selling his club and riding off into the sunset alongside his girlfriend appear more distant than ever. Cartel bosses are breathing down his neck and a young upstart has been posing as the new guy in town eager to purchase the club, reported.
Paul will play Jeff, an ordinary community college teacher who becomes entangled in a corrupt cop's heist operation. Evans will play Joe Carver, an undercover federal agent who poses as a potential buyer for Kapak's club in order to infiltrate the cartel he is laundering money for. Zovatto will play Rodriguez, the cartel's senior leader in Los Angeles.
Dobrev portrays a quirky bank teller who gets involved in crimes inspired by her Bonnie-and-Clyde-like fantasies.
Borte adapted the screenplay with Daniel Forte. The producers are Mark Fasano (Marlowe) of Nickel City Pictures; Jeffrey Greenstein (The Hitman's Bodyguard) of A Higher Standard; Deborah Glover (Sleeping Dogs) of G2 Dispatch; and Mark Bower and Bruno Mustic of Life & Soul Pictures, as per the outlet.
