Amadeus Serafini lands first major movie role in Project X, starring John Cena and Jackie Chan, according to Variety.

The project, formerly titled Ex-Baghdad, will be directed by Scott Waugh with a script by Arash Amel. The film will be set at a Chinese-run oil refinery in the Middle East.

"Scream" star Serfaini will portray an American mercenary and Chan will play a Chinese private security contractor who is tasked with extracting oil workers from a refinery that's been attacked. Char's character is teamed up with a former U.S. Marine (Cena), when he learns that the attackers' real plan is to steal the oil.

In June, John Cena was announced as a replacement for Sylvester Stallone in the part.

In addition to starring, Chan will produce the film with Joe Tam, Esmond Ren, and Hans Canosa.

Serafini starred in the first two seasons of MTV's SCREAM and in the independent comedy Summertime.
