Glen Powell has landed a new role! The actor is set to star and co-write the new action-comedy, Hitman, set to be directed by Richard Linklater.

According to Variety, “The Oscar-nominated “Boyhood” helmer will direct and co-write action comedy ‘Hitman,’ which is based on a Texas Monthly magazine article by journalist Skip Hollandsworth.” The site goes on to say, Glenn “…will co-write and star in the project as a Houston cop who’s been working undercover as the most in-demand hitman in Houston, until one day he breaks protocol in order to help a desperate woman (Adria Arjona) trying to escape an abusive boyfriend.”

Production is scheduled to get underway this October.
