Chloë Grace Moretz to Star in Action-Comedy "Mister"

Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus) have signed on to star in the action-comedy "Mister".

The project marks the directorial debut of well known second unit and action director Wade Eastwood, whose credits include "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning," "Mission: Impossible – Fallout," and "Jumanji: The Next Level".

Josh Brolin had been formerly aboard to star but bowed out due to unforeseen scheduling issues. Additional casting is in process. 

Principal photography gets underway next month in Madrid.

The film follows "A man (Goggins) who wakes up in a strange house covered in blood and comes to realize his true identity while fighting off contract killers from his past — including everyone from his exes to his best friend. To get out, he teams up with his estranged daughter (Moretz) who also has ended up in the family business, but they will need to repair their relationship in order to survive”.

Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee produce for Thunder Road alongside Goggins. Nicki Cortese, who also penned the script with Nick Inglis, will produce with Wayne Marc Godfrey for Bright White Light (Runner), which is also financing the film.

Executive producers include Chase Vergari, Ibrahim Mohammed, Eric Handler, Will Flynn, and Sophie Meyer who will oversee for Bright White Light.

Black Bear represents international rights on the film, with CAA Media Finance handling domestic.

The A-list crew includes DoP Henry Braham (Superman) and production designer Nigel Phelps (Thor: Love And Thunder).

"Kick-Ass" and "The Equalizer" star Moretz will next be seen in rom-com "Love Language," and thriller "The Edge Of Normal," the first English-language feature from director Carlota Pereda (Piggy). She recently returned to the stage in the off-Broadway play "Caroline".

"Justified" and "The Hateful Eight" star Goggins was recently Emmy and Golden Globe nominated for his performance in "The White Lotus". He is due to start filming the third season of hit Amazon show "Fallout" later this year.
