Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Sam Riley and 50 Cent will star in 13, Gela Babluani's remake of his 2005 French thriller 13 Tzameti that Paramount Vantage will begin to pre-sell at AFM.
Endeavor represents North American rights on the story of a young man who steals a mysterious package and unwittingly gets involved in a gambling ring concerning a multi-player Russian roulette tournament.
Production is scheduled to start in and around New York City on November 17.
'13 is a high concept, tautly wound thriller with universal appeal,' Vantage's senior vice president of international sales Alex Walton said.
'The combination of the phenomenal, international cast and Gela's undeniable talent take this compelling story of character and chance in dynamic directions that are sure to captivate audiences worldwide.'
13 Tzameti won the 2006 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, European Discovery Of The Year at the European Film Awards, the Lion Of The Future award at the Venice Film Festival as well as two Cesar nominations.
Rick Schwartz' Overnight Productions is producing with Barbarian Films and Morabito Picture Company. This is the third film to be financed through Barbarian's strategic alliance with Oceana.
