Gerard Butler
is in advanced talks to star in action thriller 'Manhunt', which will see a
team of FBI agents aim to track down their most wanted man in the North
Carolina wilderness.
The 42-year-old actor -
who received treatment for prescription drug problems in February - is
negotiating a role for the film that sees a team of FBI agents going after
their most wanted man, domestic terrorist and survivalist James Tollan, in the
North Carolina wilderness.
The FBI enlist a
reluctant bear hunter - the role Gerard is rumoured to be in talks for - to
help them try to catch the elusive killer, who has managed to avoid arrest with
the support of the local population. But Tollan is more crafty
than they think and the special agents soon realise they are the ones being
hunted when they enter his territory.
Michael Shamberg and
Stacey Sher are producing the project through their Double A Pictures company,
and 'The Crazies' director Breck Eisner is helming the movie, which is expected
to start production at the end of the year.
'Children of
Men's Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby are penning the script for the film that will
see Alan Siegel, Alexandra Milchan and Scott Lambert executive produce.
