Aaron Eckhart to Star In Action-Thriller 'The Bricklayer' Produced by Gerard Butler

Aaron Eckhart is going undercover in a new high-octane Millennium Media film titled, The Bricklayer. Eckhart will play an ex-CIA operative who is brought back to the agency on a mission to uncover the identity of an unknown perpetrator slaughtering foreign members of the media and framing the CIA for the killings.

Spearheading The Bricklayer as a director is world-renowned action filmmaker, Renny Harlin. Known for his work helming thrillers such as Cliffhanger, Die Hard 2, and Deep Blue Sea, Harlin is the obvious choice to bring this story of deception to life. Septembers of Shiraz writer, Hanna Weg, is penning the script alongside Into the Blue scribe, Matt Johnson. Millennium Media is producing with Gerard Butler after both teamed up with Eckhart on the Has Fallen films.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Known for his roles in action packed films including The Dark Knight, Olympus Has Fallen, and Line of Duty, Eckhart is sure to shine as the CIA agent searching for answers amidst a global cover up. Along with his action themed films, Eckhart earned critical acclaim for his performance in the 2000's drama, Erin Brockovich, and received a Golden Globe nomination for his work in Thank You for Smoking.

Along with Harlin, Vice President of Development for Millennium Media, Tanner Mobley, spoke of his eagerness to get to work on the film, commenting, “This is an incredible opportunity to develop a strong new IP into a potential franchise. Renny Harlin knows how to execute big action, and Aaron Eckhart is such a versatile actor who will bring great depth to this character. We couldn’t be more excited to launch this film with our talented team.

While we don’t yet have a release date for the film, we do know that production is expected to begin in Greece in March.
