"Law Abiding Citizen," directed by F. Gary Gray, is a new thriller starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. The film is being released by Overture Films on October 16, 2009.
A quintessentially urban story, Law Abiding Citizen needed the backdrop of a great American city for its intricately woven tale. Originally set in Los Angeles, the events of the story took on special significance when the setting was changed to Philadelphia. “It was a very specific choice on our part,” says producer Lucas Foster. “It’s the seat of English common law in America. The Founding Fathers spent a lot of time there. This movie is all about justice, so it made a lot of sense for us to come to the place where a lot of these issues were first considered.”
