The Courier is set to star Adrien Brody with Russell Mulcahy to direct the independent action movie.

The story follows a daredevil courier who is chased across the country by corrupt cops and rival crime boss as he tries to deliver a briefcase to an infamous underworld figure who is nowhere to be found.

It sounds like a typical action movie but with the scribes Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (Wanted) it could be a refreshing story.

Filming is set to start in January in Louisiana and Las Vegas.
