Kevin Bacon has signed on to star in James Wan's DEATH SENTENCE for 20th Century Fox and Hyde Park Entertainment, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Baldwin Entertainment is producing the vigilante drama.
The story centers on a father (Bacon) out for revenge after his family is attacked in a heinous gang-initiation crime. The father enacts a death sentence on each person involved in the crime.
Ian Jeffers adapted the screenplay from Brian Garfield's novel. Garfield also wrote the novel "Death Wish," which spawned the vigilante franchise starring Charles Bronson.
