G erard Butlers big old grumpy face has loomed large on the sides of buses this week, advertising Law. In the meantime, stay tuned for more details related to the project. Gerard Butler stars in a grisly revenge drama.

If Foxx does, in fact, sign on, Citizen will be one of next year's blockbusters for sure. With that underlying sense of regret on both sides, Law Abiding Citizen is probably not going to be a balls-out fight however, I'm really looking forward to seeing Foxx on the villain end of the spectrum, and what a better guy to take on than Butler? Since Darabont is helming the project and I absolutely loved his latest The Mist, I expect these grey tones to still have enough thrilling texture.ĭarabont's o-writer Kurt Wimmer isn't a bad participant in the project either, having written Equilibrium, The Recruit and Street Kings previously. Actors may orient their behavior to two orders. Foxx will be motivated by emotion, while Butler will be motivated by his loyalty to the system, each knowing that what they're doing isn't exactly right (in a cosmic sense). Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx as well as the rest of the cast deliver sup-par performances as well making Law Abiding Citizen an entertaining, confusing, implausible mess. A thief would be an example of the former, and a law - abiding citizen an example of the latter. If I had to guess, the film will have all manner of murky shades of grey. Being that Foxx's character is set to cross conventional vigilante lines, Law Abiding Citizen certainly has an air of intrigue. If you're a fan of 'Law and Order' you know that going after the lawyer is rarely a smart (or effective) move. targeted by a grief-stricken husband out for revenge following a plea deal that set one of the killers of his daughter and wife free.

We learned earlier this year that Butler would play one of the leads - a successful D.A. Director Frank Darabont's next project, Law Abiding Citizen, could have Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx going head-to-head.
