Production Weekly is reporting that Ashton Kutcher‘s days as simply the guy in the romantic comedy films may be coming to an end as he is apparently set to join Kevin Costner in an upcoming coastguard actioner titled The Guardian, which is currently scouting locations in Louisiana, for an October start.
Andrew Davis (The Fugitive) will direct the actioner, which follows Jake Cummings (Kutcher), a troubled young man who enlists in the US Coast Guard, where he is taken under the wing of a famed rescue swimmer (Costner) still struggling wtih the loss of his team in an accident years earlier.
I guess in Hollywood anything is possible. Hell, I didn’t foresee Ryan Reynolds taking on the roles he has and he has done it quite well.
