AceShowbiz - Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, and Maggie Q have signed on for action thriller "The Asset".
The film will be directed by "Casino Royale"'s Martin Campbell in association with Millennium Media, the team behind "The Expendables", and it will be produced by Arthur Sarkissisan, who is best known for the "Rush Hour" movie series.
The story, to be written by "The Equalizer 2"'s Richard Wenk, centres on two of the world's most infamous assassins, played by Keaton and Maggie Q, who have an unusual history together dating back to time spent in Vietnam.
The pair spent years competing against each other for high-paying contract killings but are forced to team up and return to the country when Jackson's character is killed.
A statement from Millennium's Jeffrey Greenstein reads: "The Asset is the whole package, and we are excited to bring Richard Wenk's masterful, muscular script to life with the all-star talent of Michael, Samuel, and Maggie. Having a great director like Martin Campbell at the helm will make all the difference in turning this into a big, stylish, and action-packed thrill ride."
