Exclusive: Gerard Butler and Alexis Louder talk action film Copshop
Hitting theaters theaters on September 17, 2021 from Open Road Films is Copshop, directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Gerard Butler, Frank Grillo, and Alexis Louder.
Tearing through the Nevada desert in a bullet-ridden Crown Vic, wily con artist Teddy Murretto (Frank Grillo) hatches a desperate plan to hide out from lethal hitman Bob Viddick (Gerard Butler): He sucker-punches rookie officer Valerie Young (Alexis Louder) to get himself arrested and locked up in a small-town police station. Jail can’t protect Murretto for long, and Viddick schemes his own way into detention, biding his time in a nearby cell until he can complete his mission. When the arrival of a competing assassin (Toby Huss) ignites all-out mayhem, mounting threats force Viddick to get creative if he wants to finish the job and escape the explosive situation.
The film also stars Toby Huss, Chad L. Coleman, Ryan O’Nan, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Robert Walker-Branchaud, Kaiwi Lyman, Christopher Michael Holley, Marshall Cook and Tracey Bonner.

Butler was recently seen in STX’s “Greenland,” reuniting him with the director of ”Angel Has Fallen”, Ric Roman Waugh; Lionsgate’s action/thriller “The Plane”; and the action pic “Kandahar,” also with Waugh.
