The Oscar nominated actor is set to board Guy Moshe‘s action thriller Hotel Tehran opposite Zachary Levi, who Deadline first told you about. Also joining the Liam Neeson feature to handle worldwide distribution is Rocket Science alongside previously announced Oakhurst Entertainment, Astral Future and Dreamtime Films. The movie will start shooting later this summer.
Moshe wrote the script with Mark Bacci (Prisoner’s Daughter), from an original idea by Bazzel Baz (The Blacklist), a former CIA Intelligence Special Operations Group Officer.
Producers are Astral Future’s Matthew G. Zamias (Boxing Day), Oakhurst’s Marina Grasic (Canary Black, Crash), Wendy Sweetmore of Dreamtime Films and Moshe. Bazzel Baz is an EP with Astral Future’s Harel Kodesh, Justin C. Oberman and Arbel Kodesh.
Moshe said, “I’m thrilled to welcome Liam Neeson to Hotel Tehran. He is a true thespian and an icon in our industry. The character he plays, Larry, is complex, irreverent, and inspired by real people. I know his fans around the world will relish seeing him inhabit this distinct role and I can’t wait to be there to capture it.”
Zamias added, “We have long since been an admirer of Mr. Neeson’s storied career. His casting in this role represents a highlight of ours and we are counting the days until we get on set.”
Sweetmore said: “It takes an army to bring a story of this nature to life and we are fortunate to have the experience of top ex-special forces and government intelligence operatives leading the charge. We know they will help craft this film and arm the actors, including the incomparable Liam Neeson and the dynamic Zachary Levi, with the care and authenticity it deserves.”
Grasic comments: “Liam Neeson is one of our very finest actors and his addition promises to elevate a picture we’re building with standout talent both in front of and behind the camera.”
Moshe helmed the action thriller Bunraku starring Josh Hartnett, genre-bender LX 2048, and the drama Holly with Ron Livingston.
