Rosario Dawson will play the female lead in indie drama “Fire with Fire” opposite Josh Duhamel, Bruce Willis and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
Eclectic cast includes NFL All-Pro Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (making his feature debut), Quntion “Rampage” Jackson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Richard Schiff, Vinnie Jones and Bonnie Sommerville have also joined the cast, with Emmett/Furla and Cheetah Vision producing.
Story centers on a fireman in the witness protection program (Duhamel) who takes matters into his own hands when he’s threatened by the man against whom he’s set to testify.
Producers are Randall Emmett, George Furla, Matthew Rhodes and Andrew Deane with Richard Jackson, Envision and Paradox exec producing. David Barrett is directing from a script by Tom O’Connor.
Voltage Pictures had been selling the pic at Cannes last month. Production is expected to start Monday.
“Fire With Fire” is part of a 10-picture deal announced last fall that is backed by a $200 million fund, with Lionsgate releasing the films domestically. Pics under that deal include “Setup,” which completed principal photography earlier this year with Curtis Jackson, Willis and Ryan Phillippe starring; and police drama “Freelancers.”
Rosario Dawson will be seen next in “Zookeeper,” opening July 8. Asomugha has appeared on TV series including “Friday Night Lights,” “Leverage” and “The Game.”
Rosario Dawson and Asomugha are repped by CAA.

The animals at the Franklin Park Zoo love their kindhearted caretaker, Griffin Keyes. Finding himself more comfortable with a lion than a lady, Griffin decides the only way to get a girl in his life is to leave the zoo and find a more glamorous job. The animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honored code of silence and reveal their biggest secret: they can talk! To keep Griffin from leaving, they decide to teach him the rules of courtship – animal style.

The Berlin Film Festival always brings a ton of news as independent producers shop around for pre-sales, and the latest project to be revealed is an intriguing, if odd-sounding drama, with an eclectic cast. Screen Daily reports that Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and Lenny Kravitz are all attached to star in “The Blind Bastard Club,” which will begin filming in April.
The project follows a group of blind people “who live life on the edge… going to the shooting range, jumping out of planes, getting into fights in bars, and pretending they’re not blind.” Central are Jake, the group’s leader, and Angel, a rollerblading call girl, who “both look to make the ultimate sacrifice for love.” There’s no word on exactly which roles Kravitz, Rourke and Dawson will take, as well as fellow cast members Rodrigo Santoro (”300”) and Riccardo Scamarcio (”Romanzo Criminale”), but our guess is that Kravitz will play Jake, and Dawson will play Angel.
Rising director, and cousin of Borat, Ash Baron-Cohen (”This Girl’s Life”) will direct the film, which was originally to be filmed in New Orleans, but will now go before cameras in Brazil, where Kravitz is a megastar, with Donald K. Ranvaud (”City of God,” “Central Station”) executive producing.
With the exception of Kravitz, who hasn’t quite convinced us as an actor, it’s a strong cast, and frankly, the more films Kravitz makes, the less time he spends in the recording studio, so we’re prepared to make that sacrifice. With shooting starting in April, we imagine this’ll surface in theaters sometime in 2012.
