Jason Statham may be flexing his acting muscles a little more in his latest film, Redemption from writer/director Steven Knight (thanks to David Fintcher). But that doesn’t mean action fans won’t get their share of Cockney-accented badassery with what Statham has lined, including his next film, Homefront, from writer/co-producer Sylvester Stallone and director Gary Fleder.
And just in time for Turkey Day!
After it was recently announced that Open Road would release the film on October 4, 2013, The Wrap confirmed on Thursday that the film would release on November 27, 2013, competing in its first week with against the family film, Frozen, followed by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Homefront, based on the novel by author Chuck Logan, focuses on a widowed ex-DEA agent who retires to a small town for the sake of his 10-year-old daughter, where he ends up tangling with the local meth druglord. The film also stars James Franco, Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth, and Frank Grillo. The film is also produced by Kevin King Templeton and John Thompson, whereas Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, and Mark Gill are the executive producers.
Stay tuned for a trailer hopefully to come soon.
