Four More Join Law Abiding Citizen

The cast for the upcoming thriller Law Abiding Citizen has grown by four. Michael Gambon, Leslie Bibb, Colm Meaney and Theresa Randle have joined Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx in the F. Gary Gray-directed vigilante movie, report the trades.

Citizen centers on a district attorney who orchestrates a plea bargain that sets free the killers of another man’s family. The aggrieved victim then seeks personal justice from the D.A. The Longest Yard screenwriter Sheldon Turner recently came on to do a polish on the script.

Writers Kurt Wimmer (The Recruit), David Ayer (Harsh Times) and Frank Darabont (The Mist), who was once in line to direct Citizen, have also worked on the script.

Butler is also producing the film along with Alan Siegel, Lucas Foster and Mark Gill. Gray’s previous directing credits include Friday, Set it Off, The Negotiator, The Italian Job remake and Be Cool.

The film starts production January 21 in Philadelphia.
