Four Become Law Abiding Citizens Gambon, Bibb, Meaney and Randle Source: The Hollywood Reporter
With just a couple of weeks to go before the cameras roll on F. Gary Gray’s thriller, Law Abiding Citizen, four more actors have signed on to join the movie’s stars, Gerry Butler and Jamie Foxx.
The quartet of hot acting talent are: Sir Michael Gambon, Leslie Bibb (last seen as the cute reporter in Iron Man), Theresa Randle (Martin Lawrence’s wife, Theresa, in the Bad Boys series) and Star Trek vet Colm Meaney.
No word yet on the specific roles the foursome will be playing in the thriller, in which Foxx plays a grieving husband and father who mounts a personal vendetta against Butler’s D.A., the man who let the killers of his family go free.
Law Abiding Citizen, of course, has been something of a troubled project, with original director Frank Darabont exiting the production late last year, to be replaced by Gray. And now Sheldon Turner has been brought on board to do some last-minute rewrites of the existing Darabont/Kurt Wimmer/David Ayers script – let’s hope that it’s not going to be a case of too many cooks.
Shooting will start on January 21 in Philadelphia.

it sounds like a great project but as Chris Hewitt has pointed out ; it will be that toooo many cooks do spoil the broth. Of all those writers that wrote the script first; Kurt Wimmer, Frank Darabont and David Ayer - surely there script could have been worked on instead some writer who wrote the Longest yard and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the beginning. This project i think will be average at best. shame really - great cast ... Read More
