Gary Oldman is in talks to star in Japan-set thriller Rain Fall.

The movie will be written and directed by Max Mannix (Dance Of The Dragon) from the novel by US author Barry Eisler.

According to Variety, it will be mainly filmed in Japanese, with around 15% of the dialogue in English.

The movie tells the story of a hitman forced to protect the daughter of one of his victims from a CIA-organised assassin. It stars Shiina Kippei (Shinobi) and Akiho Hasegawa, and is scheduled to begin shooting next month.

Oldman is currently filming David Goyer's supernatural horror Unborn for Platinum Dunes.
