Gabriel Byrne and Brian Dennehy are joining the cast of director Jean-Francois Richet's
Assault on Precinct 13, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The project, which is a remake of the 1976 John Carpenter film, stars Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne, and is set in the present day in a police precinct building that is about to be shut down.
On New Year's Eve, a mobster (Fishburne) is temporarily incarcerated at Precinct 13, the soon-to-close police station. As a rogue gang tries to free him, a cop (Hawke) must command a crew of policemen and prisoners to defend the station.
