Norman Reedus joins Triple Nine, a heist film about crooked cops that includes Woody Harrelson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Aaron Paul and Gal Gadot.
The Walking Dead may be taking a seven-month hiatus from AMC airwaves, but Norman Reedus, who plays fan favorite Daryl on the series and who was in The Boondock Saints, is staying plenty busy since the actor has been cast in John Hillcoat’s Triple Nine.
As reported by Deadline, Reedus is joining a stacked cast that includes Woody Harrelson (True Detective), Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Anthony Mackie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies), and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Superman).
Working from a script by Matt Cook, Triple Nine focuses on a crew of dirty copes who are blackmailed into becoming thieves by pulling off a daring heist while distracting law-enforcement on a wild goose chase following the murder of a rookie cop on the other side of town. One of the gravest offenses, killing a police officer is dispatched as a “9-9-9” and is a sure way to make the dark blue’s blood boil. However, with a director like Hillcoat, the helmer of The Proposition and Lawless, things may be even grimmer than they first appear. Especially when that rookie cop lives, and plans are thrown to the wind.
