Actor Christian Slater is all set to star alongside John Cena, Alison Brie, and Juan Pablo Raba in the upcoming action-comedy feature Freelance.

Written by Jacob Lentz, the film is set to be directed by Taken-director Pierre Morel. The film tells the story of an ex-special forces operator (Cena) on a job to protect a journalist (Brie) who is trying to save her career by interviewing a dictator. But when a military coup breaks out in the middle of their interview, the three must escape into the jungle and must survive the wild, the military searching for them, and the mix-matched nature of their own relationships.

The character Slater is set to portray remains unclear. Freelance is currently filming in Colombia.

The AGC Studios film will be produced by Steve Richards of Endurance Media, Sentient’s Renee Tab, and Christopher Tuffin.

Slater was recently seen in television titles like Mr. Robot and Dr. Death. His last feature film role was in director Robert Rodriguez's Netflix family film We Can Be Heroes.
