The Eagle Eye actor will star alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in the project, which begins shooting in the New Year.
Johnson is cast as ex-con Driver, who wants to avenge his brother's murder. Thornton will play Cop, a veteran policeman who trails Driver as he attempts to settle the score. There will also be a third "egocentric hitman" character, who is attempting to kill off Driver.
Joe and Tony Gayton have penned the script.
