Michael Gambon, Leslie Bibb, Colm Meaney and Theresa Randle have joined F. Gary Gray's upcoming thriller "Law Abiding Citizen." Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx also star.
The film follows a successful assistant D.A. (Butler) who finds himself at the center of a vigilante plot hatched by a traumatized victim of the legal system (Foxx).
After finding out that one of his wife and daughter’s murderers will be set free via a plea bargain, Foxx’s character decides to take revenge against those responsible for the murders and the deal.
Frank Darabont was originally attached to directed the project, but he bowed out and worked on the script with Kurt Wimmer and David Ayer instead. Sheldon Turner recently boarded the project to do some rewriting.
Gambon most recently starred in "Brideshead Revisited." Bibb appeared in "Iron Man" and will next be seen in "Confessions of a Shopaholic." As for Meaney, his credits include "Layer Cake." Randle starred in "Bad Boys II."

I think if you check you will find that the main roles have been reverse i.e. Gerard Butler is playing the vigilante and Jamie Foxx the Assistant D. A. new from GB Net.
Joan.
Sorry Joan but I think it's the other way around, I certainly checked plenty of reports all over the Web but they all have Butler set as the D.A.
