The WWII action film for Millennium Films will be directed by Tommy Wirkola.


Mel Gibson and Colin Farrell have boarded War Pigs, a World War II action pic for Millennium Films to be directed by Tommy Wirkola.


Farrell will play Drex and Gibson fills the role of The Pastor in a project penned by Nick Ball and John Niven that follows ex-soldiers out for revenge against a gang that killed one of their own and stole their drug money.


Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian of di Bonaventura Productions will produce alongside Matt Berenson.


Besides War Pigs, Gibson is set to direct Destroyer, a World War II naval war movie from Hollywood Gang Productions, marking his follow-up to Hacksaw Ridge, the 2016 war drama that served as his directorial comeback.


Farrell appeared in Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and A24’s indie film The Lobster, while also starring in Saving Mr. Banks, Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled and Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
