Crew has a script by Jonathan Tropper and follows two half-brothers — one a loose-cannon cop (Momoa) and the other a disciplined Navy SEAL (Bautista). After 20-odd years of bad blood, they must work together to unravel the conspiracy behind their father’s murder in Hawaii.
Baccarin will play Momoa’s girlfriend, who is growing increasingly frustrated by his antics.
Producing are 6th & Idaho’s Lynn Harris and Matt Reeves, as well as Bautista, Momoa and Jeffrey Fierson.
Baccarin may be best known for playing Vanessa, the love of Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) in the Deadpool movies. The latest entry has earned over $1.2 billion at the box office.
She was nominated for Emmy and SAG awards for her work on Showtime’s acclaimed spy series Homeland and will soon lead CBS’ new series Sheriff Country, a spinoff about her recurring Fire Country character.
Baccarin is repped by UTA, Seven Summits Pictures and Management and Schreck Rose.
