Deadline reports that Christian Slater has joined the cast of the upcoming action-comedy film Freelance, which stars John Cena. The film also features Alison Brie and Juan Pablo Raba, directed by Pierre Morel from a script by Jacob Lentz. The movie is currently filming in Colombia. Endurance Media’s Steve Richards will produce with Sentient Entertainment’s Renee Tab and Christopher Tuffin.

Here’s a synopsis: Freelance follows a special forces operator (Cena) who decides to retire from the Army and start a family back in the states. After several years of mortgage payments, school drop offs, backyard barbecues and trying to conform to life in suburbia, he decides to come out of retirement to take a gig providing security for a female journalist (Brie) as she interviews a cruel dictator who may or may not have ordered the attack on him and his men. When a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, the three are forced to escape into the jungle where they must survive the elements, the military and one another.
