Variety reports that John Cusack is ready to star opposite Morgan Freeman in the thriller The Contract for helmer Bruce Beresford.
The film is budgeted at $37 million and is scheduled for a spring production.
The story is of a family outing that turns deadly when a grandfather, son and grandson stumble across the path of a hired killer.
Beresford and Freeman also teamed up back in 1989 in the Oscar-winner Driving Miss Daisy.
