Paul Giamatti and Monica Bellucci are in talks to join Clive Owen in New Line Cinema's hard-core action project
Shoot 'Em Up, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature, helmed by Michael Davis, begins with a woman having a baby during a shootout. The man who delivers the baby, called simply Mr. Smith (Owen), is entrusted with protecting it from an army of gunmen.
Giamatti would play the villain who wants the baby dead, and Bellucci would be Owen's love interest.
