According to
THR, Transformers star
Megan Fox has joined the cast of
Screen Gems border thriller “
The Crossing.”
Fox will play one half of a couple who are carjacked on their way home from a holiday in Mexico. Her husband is kidnapped by the criminals and Fox's character is forced to smuggle drugs across the border to guarantee his safe release.
Byron Willinger and
Philip de Blasi wrote the script for the movie, which is being set for a July start date – despite the current lack of a director. That should be remedied soon, with several directors currently in talks with
Screen Gems.
Megan Fox's other upcoming projects include “
Transformers 2“, “
Jennifer's Body“, “
Passion Plays“, “
Jonah Hex”, and of course, the geek fantasy movie of all time, “
Fathom“.
