“Walking Dead” actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars as a detective in The Postcard Killings, an adaptation of James Patterson and Liza Marklund’s best-selling novel of the same name, Deadline reports.
Directed by Danis Tanovic (No Man’s Land) and written by Andrew Stern, Ellen Furman, Marklund and Tove Alsterdal, the thriller centers on “NYPD Detective Jacob Kanon, whose world is thrown into turmoil when he learns his daughter and son-in-law have been brutally murdered in London. When he goes there find out who is responsible he learns similar crimes are being reported across Europe, with each killing accompanied by a postcard sent to a local journalist. Fighting against time, bureaucracy and his own grief, Jacob will do whatever it takes to stop the killings and find justice for his little girl.”
Famke Janssen (X-Men: The Last Stand) stars alongside Morgan, Cush Jumbo, Joachim Król, Steven Mackintosh and Denis O’Hare.
The film is produced by Good Films Collective and James Patterson Entertainment.
This is not the first time Morgan has been cast in a law enforcement role. He has also appeared as badge-wearing characters in films like Rampage, The Losers, Texas Rising, Texas Killing Fields, and the series “The Good Wife”.
