Duo enlist for warrior flick

Morgan Freeman and Clive Owen are set to star in 'The Last Knights'.

The 'Invictus' actor and the 'Inside Man' star have signed up for the forthcoming adventure drama, which is to be helmed by Japanese director Kazuaki Kiriya from a screenplay by 'Barney’s Version' writer Michael Konyves.

The movie – which is to be produced by Luci Kim, with Jay Stern, Russell Levine and Chip Diggins serving as executive producers - will tell the story of a group of warriors who aim to get revenge on a corrupt emperor following the loss of their leader.

Morgan's forthcoming film roles will see him star alongside Tom Cruise and Melissa Leo in sci-fi project 'Oblivion' and he is due to team up with Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher and Jesse Eisenberg in upcoming thriller 'Now You See Me'.

Clive is currently filming 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' – which sees him reprise his role of Dwight McCarthy from the original movie in 2005 – with Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson and Mickey Rourke.

He is then due to star in forthcoming thriller 'Blood Ties' alongside Mila Kunis, Marion Cotillard and Zoe Saldana.
