Idris Elba<\/strong> has cast in lead role in the action thriller ‘Bastille Day’ <\/strong>for Vendome Pictures and Anonymous Content, reports Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Written by Andrew Baldwin, the film centers on a U.S. operative who is tasked with interrogating and eventually making a young American boy \u201cdisappear\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

After several more attacks, the operative realizes the boy is innocent and may be the only link to the person actually orchestrating the attacks.<\/p>\n

Elba, who recently appeared in ‘Pacific Rim’<\/strong> and ‘Thor: The Dark World,’<\/strong> will next be seen in ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.’ <\/strong><\/p>\n
