Ben Foster bætist í leikarahóp Balta í endurgerð RR sem heitir nú Contraband

Ben Foster will star alongside Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale for Universal Pictures in Contraband, the English language remake of the 2008 Icelandic film Reykjavic-Rotterdam. The film is being directed by Baltasar Kormakur, who starred in, produced and co-wrote the original. Working Title partners Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are producing with Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Kormakur.

Aaron Guzikowski wrote the script, and Wahlberg plays a former smuggler trying to go straight as a night guard. When his wife’s brother (who got him the job) botches a smuggling run, his life threatened and the night guard is dragged in for one more job. Foster plays the night guard's best friend and right hand man, who helps him take on the dangerous job.

Foster next stars opposite Jason Statham in the CBS Films remake The Mechanic, and he's just now shooting the Oren Moverman-directed police corruption drama Rampart in Los Angeles. He's repped by WME and manager Ken Jacobson.
