Los Angeles, CA (CNS) – Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx team up in the upcoming drama/thriller film from Overture Films. “Law Abiding Citizen” will unspool in theaters next week.

Butler stars as Clyde Shelton, whose family was brutally killed in a home robbery, while Fox stars as Nick Rice, the D.A. who got one of the murderers off so that the other would be put in the death row.

Clyde then extracts his revenge, not only to the killers, but also to the justice system that failed him, including Nick.

New Total Recall being written

Kuato in Total Recall

By Borys Kit and Jay A. Fernandez

Kurt Wimmer has been tapped to write Columbia’s new version of “Total Recall,” which Neal H. Moritz is developing and producing through his Original Films banner.
The original, based on the Philip K. Dick story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” follows a man haunted by a recurring dream of journeying to Mars who buys a literal dream vacation from a company called Rekall Inc., which sells implanted memories. The man comes to believe he is a secret agent and ends up on a Martian colony, where he fights to overthrow a despotic ruler controlling the production of air.
   The studio is keeping mum on the new take, simply calling a “contemporized adaptation.”
   Toby Jaffe is overseeing production on behalf of Original Film. Matt Tolmach and Sam Dickerman are overseeing the project on behalf of the studio.
   Columbia secured the rights to “Recall” in February from Miramax, which retained the right to co-finance the film.
   CAA-repped Wimmer wrote “Law Abiding Citizen,” which recently wrapped, and penned “Salt,” Columbia’s spy thriller starring Angelina Jolie that is currently shooting in New York.
