The Korean director Kim Jee-Woon [15]("A Tale of Two Sisters," "The Good, The Bad, The Weird") is directing.
"The Last Stand" is about a former Los Angeles Police officer who becomes the sheriff of a sleepy border town and finds himself standing between a ruthless drug cartel leader and the border.
Lionsgate says the movie includes "one of the most daring face offs in cinema history."
The movie is based on Andrew Knauer [16]'s spec script which Jeffrey Nachmanoff [17]("The Day After Tomorrow [18]") rewrote.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura [19] is producing.
