British pop star Rita Ora has joined the cast of the action movie “Tin Soldier”.
Nora Arnezeder, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Joey Bicicchi have also signed on for roles in the action flick, which is in production in Greece.
They join an ensemble that also includes Robert De Niro, Jamie Foxx, Scott Eastwood, John Leguizamo, and Shamier Anderson.
“Tin Soldier” is centered around The Bokushi (Foxx), who preaches to hundreds of veterans who have been drawn to the promise of protection and purpose under him.
Surrounded by his devout followers, he has built an impenetrable fortress and a massive arsenal of weapons.
Following several failed infiltration attempts, the government – in the form of military operative Emmanuel Ashburn (De Niro) – recruits Nash Cavanaugh (Eastwood), an ex-special forces asset, who was once a disciple of The Bokushi.
Nash takes on the mission and decides to use his vulnerable past and insider knowledge of the enigmatic leader to get revenge on the man who took everything from him, including the love of his life.
Brad Furman is directing from a script he co-wore with Jess Fuerst. Unified Pictures’ Keith Kjarval, Current Entertainment’s Steven Chasman, and Romulus Entertainment’s Brad Feinstein will produce.
Furman and Fuerst will also produce under their Road Less Traveled Productions banner. Blue Rider’s Walter Josten will serve as executive producer.
