Thomas Jane is set to star and produce in a new action-thriller titled Relentless.
He will take on the role of a former U.S. Army Green Beret who, after smugglers steal his boat and leave him for dead, gets caught between warring crime gangs as he fights to save the life of a young girl.
Courtney Lauren Penn with whom he co-founded the production company Renegade Entertainment will also be producing the film. Chuck Hustmyre, who spent 22 years in law enforcement and retired as a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) will be scripting the film.
He specialized in,
“violent crime, narcotics, and fugitive investigations.”
Jane said in a statement:
“I call this script my ‘Dr. Stan Golden’, because a ‘great action screenplay,’ is a bit of an oxymoron in this town, and like that great dentist, just as rare.”
Hustmyre added:
“I’m excited to be working with Thomas Jane on this picture. I’ve admired his work for years, and I know he’s the perfect actor to bring this complex character to life.”
Penn said:
“There is always uncompromising authenticity to the material created by Chuck and Relentless raises the bar. It’s an adrenaline-fueled story with action and suspense derived from a man’s unwavering, single-minded pursuit. It was clear right away that Thomas in this dimension is an absolutely perfect fit.”
