Megan Fox Makes a Run for the Border

Megan Fox is set to star as the lead in an upcoming thriller from Screen Gems called 'The Crossing'.  The Crossing will follow a couple returning home from a Mexican Vacation get carjacked, and the husband is kidnapped.  The wife (Played by Megan Fox) is forced to smuggle some heroin across the border in exchange for her husband.

According to THR, Directors are still meeting with the studio on this one, but production is expected to get started by about July.  Jeff Okin, Karen Firestone and Max Wong are all producing with Clint Culpepper and Nick Phillips overseeing everything for the studio. 

Clint Culpepper (Screen Gems President) noted that Fox was perfect for this role which combines both the victim and the hero at the same time.  Culpepper said that the character “requires a vulnerability to make you care about her but a kind of strength to make you believe she can pull off the things she needs to,” he said. “And Megan has both a vulnerability about her and an unbelievable strength.”
