GUY PIERCE AND MAGGIE GRACE IN LUC BESSON’S LOCK OUT

Before we get too far into this, Luc Besson is not directing, but he co-wrote the script and is producing the film just like he did with Taken. The Wrap reports that EuropaCorp has cast Guy Pearce, Maggie Grace, Peter Stormare and Tom Hollander in an upcoming sci-fi action movie called Lock Out. The film takes place in a prison orbiting 50 miles above Earth, housing 500 of the most dangerous prisoners who are kept asleep by sophisticated methods until they suddenly awaken, causing all hell to break loose. It sounds like one of those sci-fi “supermax” prison movies, like they tried with DC Comics, but without any supervillains.

The budget for Lock Out is expected to be in the $30 million range, and production is scheduled to begin at the end of next month in Belgrade.
