And by the looks of it, Gerard Butler has found his calling as a star of one too. All about Russia-America relations, his upcoming submarine-war movie, 'Hunter Killer', based on Don Keith and George Wallace’s 2012 novel 'Firing Point', will tell the story of a submarine commander who's embarked on the mission to save the president of Russia. What's better? The all-star cast surrounding Butler in the film will include Gary Oldman, Common, Toby Stephens, Michael Nyqvist, Caroline Goodall and Michael Trucco.
