Bobby Cannavale Joins Cast of Action-Comedy JOLT

Bobby Cannavale, Jai Courtney, Laverne Cox and Stanley Tucci have joined the cast of the Millennium Media action-comedy Jolt, starring Kate Beckinsale, according to Deadline.

One day she makes a connection with Justin (Courtney), which gives her a glimmer of hope for a shock-free future but when he's murdered, she launches herself on a revenge-fueled rampage in pursuit of his killer. Meanwhile, detective Vicars (Cannavale) and detective Nevin (Cox) mark Lindy as their chief suspect.

Scott Wascha wrote the script and Tanya Wexler is directing the feature, which is now under way in London and will will shoot for eight weeks in the UK and Bulgaria.
