Morgan Freeman and Frank Grillo will star in Daniel Adams’ action film “Panama,” Highland Film Group announced Thursday.
Adams and William R. Barber penned the script for the film, which will be produced by Michelle Chydzik Sowa and Michelle Reihel, with Barber also serving as executive producer. Highland Film Group is handling worldwide sales for the title that will be introduced to buyers at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
