Michael Caine and Emily Mortimer have signed on to star in "
Harry Brown," a British vigilante thriller from MARV Films. Lionsgate U.K. has just acquired the U.K. distribution rights on the film, which British director Daniel Barber is helming.
"Brown" centers on an elderly ex-serviceman and widower (Caine) who lives alone, within a community that has been decimated by drugs and gun crime. When his best friend is murdered, the man dispenses his own brand of justice. Gary Young wrote the script.
