Los Angeles: Hollywood actor and "Game of Thrones" alum Peter Dinklage is set to star in "The Reckoner", an original action feature to be directed by filmmaker Kenji Tanigaki.
According to Deadline, Lionsgate has acquired the project, which will be produced by filmmaker duo Anthony and Joe Russo's AGBO banner.
Tanigaki, who shot to global fame with his blockbuster movie "The Furious" earlier this year, will direct the project from a script by "John Wick" writer Derek Kolstad.
Dinklage and Kolstad are also producing the film alongside AGBO's Angela Russo-Otstot, Michael Disco and Kassee Whiting, as well as David Ginsberg under Estuary Films, production owned by Dinklage and Ginsberg.
Anthony and Joe Russo will be executive producers.
"The Reckoner" marks the latest collaboration between Lionsgate and AGBO following their upcoming "John Rambo" film, directed by Jalmari Helander starring Noah Centineo.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group president Erin Westerman praised Tanigaki following the success of his latest directorial venture.
"'The Furious' showcases a singular filmmaking talent, and we're thrilled to reunite with our friends at AGBO to bring his bold vision for 'The Reckoner' to audiences worldwide," Westerman said.
