Actors Greg Kinnear and Josh Duhamel will topline the upcoming action-thriller movie Off The Grid.

The project, which will be directed by Johnny Martin, has a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement. It is currently in pre-production with a shoot scheduled for January, reported American news outlet Deadline.

Duhamel, known for featuring in Transformers series as well as movies like Life as We Know It, New Year's Eve and Love, Simon, will play a scientist (Duhamel) who steals an experiment and hides off the grid in Europe to prevent it from becoming weaponised.

His former research partner (Kinnear), along with an extraction team, is sent in to find him and locate the missing experiment. Kinnear has films like As Good as It Gets, Little Miss Sunshine, You've Got Mail and Invincible to his credit.

According to the news outlet, the production banner Red Sea Media is launching for world sales at the American Film Market (AFM) this week.

Off The Grid will be produced by Luca Matrundola and Richard Salvatore. Red Sea's Roman Kopelevich will serve as an executive producer.
