Former ‘Punisher’ star Thomas Jane has been cast alongside Sylvester Stallone in the new action film ‘Headshot’. The film has been in the media lately after original director Wayne Kramer left the project due to ‘creative differences’ with Stallone. That sent the star and producers on a quest for a new director, eventually settling on Walter Hill (48hrs, Last Man Standing). Today it was announced that Jane will be joining the cast playing a New Orleans homicide detective whom teams with a hit-man (Stallone) for a job. The film is scheduled to go into production by summer’s end. In related news Sly has also announced that he won’t be directing the sequel to ‘The Expendables’ though he will be returning in an acting role. Leading some to speculate that ‘Headshot’ may be a warm-up for Hill before a possible shot at taking over duties on ‘The Expendables 2’. More updates to follow…
