John Cena (The Suicide Squad) and Alison Brie (Community) have joined the cast of the action-comedy Freelance from Taken director Pierre Morel from a script by Jimmy Kimmel Live! writer Jacob Lentz.
The story “centers on an ex-special forces operator who, desperate to escape his humdrum life, takes a job providing security for a journalist who is hoping to salvage her career by interviewing a dictator. Things go sideways when a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, and the mismatched duo, along with the dictator, escape to the jungle where they must survive the military chasing them, animals hunting them and each other.”
Cena is naturally playing the ex-soldier with Brie tapped to play the journalist. Production is due to begin later this month in Colombia.
