Luke Evans Joins Movie "Bear Country"

Luke Evans (Beauty And The Beast), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), and Daniel Zovatto (Woman of the Hour) have joined Russell Crowe in action-thriller "Bear Country", helmed by Derrick Borte (Unhinged).

Nina Dobrev and Teresa Palmer also star in the ensemble movie which is filming in Australia.

"Bear Country" follows an ageing but formidable club owner, Manco Kapak (Crowe) who has been robbed by a masked gunman. Now, his aspirations of selling his club and riding off into the sunset alongside his girlfriend appear more distant than ever. Cartel bosses are breathing down his neck and a young upstart has been posing as the new guy in town eager to purchase the club.

 Evans will play Joe Carver, an undercover federal agent posing as a potential buyer for Kapak’s club in hopes of infiltrating the cartel he’s washing money for. 

Paul will play Jeff, an unassuming community college teacher who gets roped into a dirty cop’s robbery scheme. Zovatto will play Rodriguez, the cartel’s top man in Los Angeles.

"Bear Country" is produced by Mark Fasano (Marlow) of Nickel City Pictures, Jeffrey Greenstein (The Hitman’s Bodyguard) of A Higher Standard, Deborah Glover (Sleeping Dogs) of G2 Dispatch, and Mark Bower and Bruno Mustic of Life & Soul Pictures.
