The Lionsgate/CBS Films project will star Dylan O'Brien as Mitch Rapp, a CIA black ops recruit who carries out covert counter-terrorist operations, and Michael Keaton, who will play Stan Hurley, Rapp's instructor.
In the film, CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) enlists the two men to investigate some random attacks that are being taken out on both military and civilian targets. They soon realize that these attacks aren't random at all, and it leads them on a whole new mission in the Middle East to stop a world war.
The script was written by Stephen Schiff, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Nick Wechsler will be producing.
Countdown to the release of American Assassin with the The Movie Hype App.
