The last time we reported on a casting story featuring Dominic Cooper, he passed on the film (Motor City) shortly afterwards, thanks to a scheduling clash. So the producers of action thriller Dead Man Down will be hoping he actually signs on.
Dead Man Down finds original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo director Niels Arden Oplev reuniting with his star, Noomi Rapace and adding Colin Farrell for a tale of revenge and death.
Farrell will be a grieving husband and father infiltrating the crime syndicate responsible for his family’s death, who also deals with Rapace's mysterious, scarred, beautiful woman who knows a lot about his past. Assuming he signs, Cooper will play Darcy, a family man who helps Farrell on the street.
With prolific producer Neal Moritz aboard and a script by The Mexican’s JH Wyman, Oplev is set to kick off shooting next month.
Cooper will crop up this year in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and has recently finished work on Summer In February alongside Emily Browning and Shaun Dingwall. He’s also set to film Roger Donaldson’s financial drama thriller Cities.
