‘The Grey’ Star Frank Grillo Joins The Raid Remake

Frank Grillo, star of The Grey and Prison Break and uh… Captain America, has joined the cast of The Raid.  The remake that is.  The movie will be directed by Red Hill and Expendables 3 director Patrick Hughes.

Rumors from a month or two ago suggested a September shoot date, although this is supposedly false, the shoot date has moved back to Q1 2015.

Excited about the project?  Patrick Hughes is.  Here’s what he said of it a while back:

It’s a really exciting project. Actually, I had the pleasure of catching up with Gareth [Evans, director of the original film] the other night in L.A., who’s EP [Executive Producer] on it. This one is a little more broader canvas. It’s a very different film, very different style of filmmaking. It centers around a DEA FAST (Foreign-Deployed Advisory and Support Team) Team that was formed during the Bush administration when the crossover between terrorism and the narcotics trade were so closely intertwined that they created a task force – I believe there are six teams that operate – they’re sort of like Navy SEALS but they operate in the world of narcotics. And, these teams work across borders so it centers around a team that goes across the border and, y’know, all hell breaks loose.
