THR reports that The Coup, which stars Pierce Brosnan (Die Another Day), Owen Wilson (Shanghai Knights) and Lake Bell (I’m Good), has begun shooting in Thailand. The action-thriller is written and directed by John Erick Dowdle (Quarantine, Devil) and produced by David Lancaster (Only God Forgives).
Here’s the plot, according to imdb: In their new overseas home, an American family (headed by Wilson) soon finds themselves caught in the middle of a coup (a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government), and they frantically look for a safe escape in an environment where foreigners are being immediately executed.
Stay tuned for more updates about this project.
