Variety.com reported that Jackson will be starring as a detective in the film Mixed Blood.
Producers called upon Australia’s Phillip Noyce, who was behind 2002’s The Quiet American, to direct this upcoming independent film.
The story is based on a book of the same name that was written by Roger Smith and adapted to the big screen by Kelly Masterson.
The plot follows an American fugitive who must make terrifying decisions to protect his family while attracting the attention of murderers, kidnappers, corrupt policemen, and a detective played by Jackson.
Shooting is set to begin sometime in early 2010.
