Zac Efron and Amber Heard will star in “Autobahn,” a thriller about an American backpacker (Efron) whose life takes a turn for the worse after joining a scam on behalf of a Turkish gang, IM Global announced on Thursday.
IM Global is financing the film, which will shoot in Germany in the fall. Eran Creevy, who wrote and directed “Welcome to the Punch,” is directing from a script he co-wrote with F. Scott Frazier.
Heard will play Efron's American girlfriend. As he flees his pursuers in and around Munich, he must protect her as they seek to free themselves from any perilous entanglements.
