"Reacher" star Alan Ritchson has signed on to star in Amazon MGM Studios' upcoming Vietnam war film directed by Patrick Hughes ("The Hitman's Bodyguard", "The Expendables 3") from a script co-written by Mark Semos, Ritchson and Jason Hall ("American Sniper"). Ritchson and Hughes have already worked together on the upcoming sci-fi action thriller "War Machine".
The untitled Amazon MGM Studios movie follows NAVY Seal Mike Thornton during the final days of the Vietnam War as he leads a desperate last stand after five soldiers become stranded behind enemy lines in North Vietnam. Outnumbered by 150 enemy troops, they fight through relentless enemy fire before making a harrowing retreat into the South China Sea. With both a gravely wounded lieutenant and fellow soldier tied to him, Thornton swims for hours through hostile waters to reach safety, an act of valor that earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The film falls under Ritchson's three-picture acting deal with the studio. Producers include Sylvester Stallone through Balboa Productions, Hidden Pictures' Todd Lieberman and Alex Young, Alan Ritchson's AllyCat Entertainment, and Alan Rautbort.
Ritchson recently finished filming "The Runner", co-starring Owen Wilson, the Amazon action comedy "Playdate" with Kevin James and Amazon's holiday family comedy "The Man with the Bag" opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is currently in production on season four of "Reacher", and will also reprise his role in the untitled eleventh installment of "Fast and Furious". His latest movie "Motor City", which also stars Shailene Woodley and Ben Foster, recently premiered at TIFF.
