It’s been two decades since Mena Suvari and Mickey Rourke starred in a movie together and they’re finally ready for a team-up. They’ll join forces again in the upcoming action thriller Hunt Club.

According to its official logline, Hunt Club centers on a group of male hunters who routinely lure women to their island with the chance to win 100K in a hunt, only to find that they are the hunted… but this time, the men mess with the wrong three girls and suffer the consequences.

In addition to Suvari and Rourke, this project will also star Casper Van Dien (Monsters of California), Maya Stojan (Newness), Will Peltz (13 Minutes), and Jessica Belkin (The Orville). Elizabeth Blake-Thomas directed the film, while David Lipper and John F. Saunders co-wrote the script.

Mena Suvari is best known for her BAFTA-nominated role in American Beauty, in addition to starring in the American Pie franchise. Mickey Rourke is the Oscar-nominated star of The Wrestler, and the list of his credits also includes Sin City, Iron Man 2, and Angel Heart. They previously co-starred in the black comedy crime film Spun in 2002.

Their next film Hunt Club has already wrapped production in Mississippi, but it still doesn’t have an official release date.
