Dredd and Star Trek star Karl Urban has landed the lead role in an upcoming action thriller called Entry Level. He’ll star alongside Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, The Giver), and it sounds like it could be a pretty intense movie.
The film opens on a young man (Thwaites) who mysteriously awakens in a super high-security office building and is forced by an unknown stranger to complete a strictly timed series of dangerous tasks that implicate him in a deadly crime with global consequences. The building’s top-level security team, led by Chief Morris Baslo (Urban), pursues him in this action packed game of cat and mouse.
Urban and Thwaites are both great actors, and this seems like a solid film project for both of them. The movie will be directed by Franck Khalfoun (Amityville: The Awakening) from a script written by Benjamin Hurley.
