Jean Reno to Star in Tom Edmunds’ Action-Thriller ‘The Butler’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Jean Reno is attached to headline the action-thriller "The Butler," directed by Tom Edmunds.

The stylish period film will deliver a fresh twist on the revenge thriller genre, combining high-octane action with upstairs/downstairs family drama. Edmunds said: “With ‘The Butler,’ we’re crafting something truly unique—a period action-thriller that’s equal parts ‘Downton Abbey’ and ‘Die Hard.’ Jean Reno brings unparalleled gravitas to the role, blending his iconic action-hero credentials with a sense of refinement and humanity that is perfect for this character.” Amanda Delaplaine, Nadezda Motina, Aram Ovannisyan, Tom Edmunds, Chris Ochs and Andrew Bates will executive produce, alongside Todd Slater and Brandon Evans on behalf of Brick Lane, who also serves as the production service company in Ireland.
