I am happy to see Christian Slater working on a film. I haven’t seen him on the big screen for some time. He is starring with Cuba Gooding Jr. in an action/comedy “Lies & Illusions.”

Filming starts this week in Spokane, Wash.

According to Variety, story centers on a novelist being hunted by a spy who believes the writer holds millions of dollars in diamonds stolen by his dead fiancée.

The film also stars Sarah Ann Schultz, Christa Campbell, Al Madrigal and Lochlyn Munro.
