Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughnn to Star in Crime Thriller DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE
Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn will re-team to star in Dragged Across Concrete, a crime thriller about police brutality directed by Bone Tomahawk filmmaker S. Craig Zahler.
Gibson and Vaughn will play cops who are suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics gets wide attention. They then descend into the criminal underworld to exact vengeance.
Vaughn starred as a sergeant in Hacksaw Ridge, which Gibson directed. The movie received six Oscar nominations, including best picture and best director.
Vaughn also starred in Zahler’s prison drama Brawl in Cell Block 99, along with Jennifer Carpenter and Don Johnson.
Zahler said, “‘Dragged Across Concrete is best suited to my goal of making a heartfelt, surprising, sad, funny, shocking, and memorable world with multiple viewpoints. As is often the case in my novels and screenplays, the protagonists are in perilous circumstances against which they struggle in different and surprising—though logical—ways. I am absolutely thrilled to have Mel and Vince agree to play the lead roles.”
