Mel Gibson and Frank Grillo have been cast in the forthcoming thriller Leo From Toledo.
The feature reunites Gibson, Grillo, and director Joe Carnahan who worked together on the sci-fi thriller Boss Level.
Leo From Toledo tells the story of a former killer for the Kansas City mob, now hiding in witness protection, who has trouble with his memory.
Per the official logline: ”What he does remember he wants to forget. But what he has forgotten has now made him a hunted man with precious little time to save the one thing he has left: his estranged daughter and granddaughter.”
“Leo is the kind of movie I love to make, it’s funny and heartfelt with a ton of great action. Being able to work with Mel, and Frank again is a real gift. It rarely happens that you get to make films with the people you love and respect, so I consider myself blessed. I feel like Leo is a ‘return to form’ of sorts for Mel. The script allows him to be both funny and dramatic at different turns and I can’t wait to see what he does with that character,” Carnahan said.
