(October 30, 2009)

*George Tillman has signed on to direct Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and newly-added cast member Billy Bob Thornton in Sony's action drama "Faster," reports Variety.

As previously reported, Johnson stars as Driver, an ex-con out to avenge his brother's murder. Thornton will play Cop, a veteran policeman who trails Driver as he races to settle with those responsible for the murder.

Also in the mix is Killer, an egocentric hitman who's after Driver. That role hasn't been cast yet.

Tillman will also direct an upcoming romantic comedy for State Street Pictures based on Julia Wertz's novel "I Saw You," about the missed connections section of Craigslist.com.
