Robert Allan Ackerman will direct from a script by Craig Warner, which follows Guy, a tennis player, who meets the unnerving Bruno on a train. The pair discuss Bruno's theory that complete strangers can get away with murder. Fox would play Bruno, with Huston starring as Guy.

The show's producers are eyeing the Gielgud Theatre, but no dates have been set.

He last appeared on the West End in Our Boys in 2012. His other stage credits include Mrs. Warren's Profession in 2002, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore in 2005 and Treats in 2006.

Huston's upcoming film projects include American Hustle, Posthumous and Famous. His other big screen credits include Kill Your Darlings, Night Train to Lisbon, Not Fade Away, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Mr. Nice and more. He has appeared on TV in Boardwalk Empire and Eastwick.
