Jeff Danna has signed on to score the upcoming action thriller The Expatriate. The movie stars Aaron Eckhart as a former CIA agent who hopes to make a fresh start with his estranged 15-year old daughter. He takes a job in Belgium as a security expert for a multinational corporation and arrives one day to find the corporation no longer exists and his assistant is really a trained operative out to kill him and his daughter. Olga Kuryelenko and Liane Liberato are co-starring. The film is directed by German filmmaker Philipp Stolzl (North Face) and written by Arash Amel. The Expatriate was shot this spring in Montreal and Belgium and is currently in post-production. No release date has been set yet for the thriller.
Danna’s other upcoming projects include the crime thriller Thin Ice (previously entitled The Convincer) starring Greg Kinnear, the horror thriller The Tall Man starring Jessica Biel and the fight movie Arena (formerly entitled The Killing Game) starring Kellan Lutz, Nina Dobrev and Samuel L. Jackson.
