Idris Elba has cast in lead role in the action thriller ‘Bastille Day’ for Vendome Pictures and Anonymous Content, reports Variety.
Written by Andrew Baldwin, the film centers on a U.S. operative who is tasked with interrogating and eventually making a young American boy “disappear” in order to avoid embarrassment to the U.S. government after the boy is linked as the prime suspect to an attack on the Paris metro.
After several more attacks, the operative realizes the boy is innocent and may be the only link to the person actually orchestrating the attacks.
Elba, who recently appeared in ‘Pacific Rim’ and ‘Thor: The Dark World,’ will next be seen in ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.’
