Ethan Hawke has signed on to the sub-$10 million CIA thriller "The Numbers Station" for Content Film International says Variety.
According to Variety: The film “The Numbers Station,” directed by Kasper Barfoed and starring Ethan Hawke, has been acquired for worldwide distribution by ContentFilm International. The acquisition was announced at Cannes on Sunday.
Hawke plays Emerson, a disgraced black ops agent tasked with a dead-end job protecting 20-year-old Katherine, the code operator for a small CIA broadcast station in the middle of the Nevada desert. Emerson’s mission is simple: protect Katherine. Keep her safe and keep her secure. When the station is under attack, their priority is to make it out alive.
Ethan Hawke has been one of my favorite actors for a while, but he hasn’t taken on a really decent role for a while, so hopefully this one will turn out to be another quality performance like he put on in “Training Day”. I loved him in both “Gattaca” and “Assault on Precinct 13”, and I think he has the perfect look and style to play a disgraced former agent.
