'Shameless' actor Justin Chatwin will star in indie thriller 'Urge', co-starring Pierce Brosnan.
Veteran producer Aaron Kaufman ('Machete, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For') is making his directorial debut with the film, said The Hollywood reporter.
The story centers on a group of friends who escape to an island destination weekend and find themselves unable to resist trying a new designer drug. But the drug has one major side effect: it makes people lose the ability to control their urges.
Chatwin, 31, will play a character named Jason, who is the the film's protagonist. Brosnan is playing the creator and gatekeeper of the island's new drug.
The cast also features Ashley Greene, Danny Masterson, Bar Paly, Alexis Knapp, Chris Geere and Nick Thune.
