Update: Dan Stevens will lead Apostle, according to Variety.
Gareth Evans‘ years-long silence — filmmaking-wise; I don’t know what the guy does with his life — may be coming to an end, as a THR article informs us the Raid helmer’s collaborating with Xyz Films and Severn Screen on Apostle. A period thriller, it concerns “a mysterious man who travels to a remote island in search of his missing sister” who’s been “kidnapped by a religious cult, which is demanding a ransom for her return” — presumably leading to a bit of ass-kicking, or so I think when “it soon becomes clear that the cult will regret the day it baited this man.”
The Raid circa some very different time and place is a thrilling proposition, though it may be preferable to see Evans expand his canvas a bit. Apostle seems primed for just that shift.

Ever since Taken became a surprise smash hit back in 2008, Liam Neeson has leaned heavily on action thrillers as his career experienced a nice late game bump. He's been in The A-Team, Unknown, The Grey, Battleship, Non-Stop, A Walk Among the Tombstones, Run All Night...the list goes on. But now the Oscar nominee is returning to a more subdued drama for the first time in a little while, and reuniting with a previous collaborator in the process.
Deadline reports Neeson is leading the cast of The Trainer, a horse training drama that will reunite him with his Michael Collins director Neil Jordan (who also helmed The Crying Game and Interview with a Vampire). David Donohue, James Villemaire, and Sully writer Todd Komarnicki are tackling the screenplay.
Neeson will star as John Moore, a premier horse trainer in the west of Ireland who, beset by tragedy, loses everything he cherishes and almost forgets to live.
