Red Tails star Nate Parker has signed up for a role opposite Liam Neeson in the action thriller Non-Stop, which director Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown) is set to helm, according to Variety…
Neeson will play an air marshal who squares off with an American terrorist who take a plane load of passengers hostage, and threatens to kill someone every 20 minutes if the marshal doesn’t kill himself (no prizes for guessing there’s something a bit personal going on here). Nate Parker will play a passenger who helps Neeson diffuse the threat.
Jaume Collet-Serra will direct from a screenplay by Christopher Roach and John W. Richardson. Production is scheduled to begin within the next few weeks in New York City. Nate Parker will next be seen alongside Richard Gere in Arbitrage, and also has a role in Spike Lee’s Oldboy remake.
