That L.A.P.D. movie starring
Forest Whitaker,
Keanu Reeves and
Chris Evans which before today we all knew as
The Night Watchman, has gone through a name change and will now be known as
Night Watch. Fox Searchlight and New Regency obviously aren't worried about the name clash and potential audience confusion with the Russian epic fantasy series
Night Watch. More news on this project, and
House actor
Hugh Laurie is the latest name to be added to the
David Ayer directed cast with filming set to begin next month. Laurie will be playing an internal affairs officer, along with Evans whilst Reeves plays a cop who becomes an alcoholic and depressed drunk after his wife's murder, and who is then accused of murdering her by his former cop mentor Forest Whitaker. Ayer previously directed
Harsh Times, which hopefully I will get chance to watch sometime this week.
