The Argentinian action thriller 4X4 is getting its big Hollywood remake titled Locked and its cast is shaping up to be pretty amazing. The Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins and Top Gun: Maverick’s Glen Powell will play lead roles in this promising project.
This character-driven thriller centers on a petty thief, who believes he struck gold after breaking into a luxury SUV. What seems like an opportunity of a lifetime quickly turns into a nightmare, after he realizes he’s stumbled into a deadly trap set by a mysterious figure.
Sam Raimi’s Raimi Productions will produce the project along with ZQ Entertainment, and he tapped David Yarovesky to direct the project after collaborating on Nightbooks.
“The script was so good and he’s such a good communicator that we were able to interest Anthony Hopkins, who for my generation is just about the greatest actor ever. Glen’s character has got a soul to him that’s slowly revealed as the picture goes on,” Raimi told Deadline.
Hopkins most recently reunited with Florian Zeller for The Son, after winning his second Oscar for his previous film The Father. Glen Powell is fresh off the success of Top Gun: Maverick, and he also appeared alongside Jonathan Majors in Devotion.
