John Cusack Set to Star in THE NUMBERS STATION

Variety reports that actor John Cusack will be joining the cast of THE NUMBERS STATION, which will be directed by Kasper Barfoed. Cusack will co-star with Malin Ackerman in the action thriller, playing a "disgraced black-ops agent tasked with a deadend job of protecting a code operator (Ackerman) for an isolated covert CIA broadcast station." The screenplay for the film was written by F. Scott Frazier.

It was previously reported that actor Ethan Hawke was to have the leading role in the film, but after plans did not pan out, Cusack was offered the role. Cusack will be playing the role of Edgar Allen Poe in the upcoming film THE RAVEN. He is also set to film Lee Daniels' adaptation of THE PAPERBOY, a comedy with Johnny Knoxville, and the serial killer drama FROZEN GROUND with Nicolas Cage.

Production for THE NUMBERS STATION is set to begin in mid-November.
