Story by Jack Foley

DIANE Kruger and January Jones have joined the cast of Liam Neeson’s new thriller, Unknown White Male.

The film centres around a man (played by Neeson) who awakes from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity. But when no one, including his wife, believes him, he’s forced to prove who he really and enlists the help of a young woman.

Kruger will play a Berlin taxi driver who becomes Neeson’s unexpected ally, according to Variety, while Jones will play his wife, who gets caught up in the conspiracy surrounding her husband.

Jaume Collet-Serra will direct, with shooting due to begin in Berlin next January.

Kruger was last seen in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, while Jones is best known for her role in Mad Men.
