Actress Jennifer Morrison is moving behind the camera for her directorial debut, and by the same token is launching her production co. Written by Anthony Tambakis (Jane Got a Gun, next year’s American Express), Deadline reports that Sun Dogs should begin lensing sometime this summer. Morrison will co-produce with Andrew Carlberg (Some Girl(s)).
Gist: This follows a young misfit with three failed attempts to join the Marines under his belt. Taking a Marine officer’s advice to “protect the homefront” a little too seriously, he sets his sights on a casino manager who may or may not be a terrorist mastermind, and enlists the help of young runaway, forming the most unlikely possible anti-terroroism unit in a story of love, friendship and homeland security.
Worth Noting: Morrison acted in and Tambakis wrote Gavin O’Connor’s Warrior (2011).
Do We Care?: Casting choices will ultimately add “interest” weight to the project.
