Josh Brolin to join the 'Cartel'

By Adnan Tezer Oct 1, 2009, 19:19 GMT

Josh Brolin will star in "Cartel," the Asger Leth-directed drama for Universal Pictures that will begin shooting January in Mexico City.

Brolin takes the role Sean Penn was to perform until he left the project in June for personal reasons.

According to Variety, Brian Grazer is producing the Peter Craig-scripted drama for Imagine Entertainment.

Brolin will play a man desperate to protect his son after his wife is brutally murdered in the dangerous world of Mexican drug cartels.

The drama is inspired by the 1993 Italian film "La scorta," which followed four cops' struggle to guard a special prosecutor trying to bring mob bosses to justice.

Robert Stone and Webster Stone will executive produce "Cartel." Leth makes his dramatic feature directing debut after directing the 2006 documentary "Ghosts of Cite Soleil."
