According to Deadline, Pearce will play a man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the US. He's offered a reprieve on the condition that he rescues the president's daughter from an outer space prison that's been taken over by the inmates.
Besson came up with the idea for Lockout with directors James Mather and Stephen St. Legar.
The sci-fi project will reunite Besson with former Lost star Grace, who starred in his 2008 revenge thriller Taken.
