Frank Langella joins 'Unknown White Male'

The great Frank Langella has signed on to star in Jaume Collet-Serra's upcoming Warner Bros./Dark Castle thriller "Unknown White Male." He's joining Liam Neeson, January Jones and Diane Kruger.

Karl Gajdusek wrote the script, which follows a doctor who slips into a coma after a car accident while on vacation with his wife in Berlin. When he wakes up, he realizes he's been replaced by another man.

Neeson plays the lead character, and Variety reports Langella plays a colleague who tries to help him reclaim his identity. Joel Silver is on board as a producer, and the film shoots next month.

Langella recently delivered a creepy performance in "The Box." He is also known for his great job in "Frost/Nixon." Other recent credits of his include "Superman Returns" and "Kitchen Confidential."

Collet-Serra most recently directed the decent horror thriller "Orphan," which is currently playing. His directing credits also include "Goal II: Living the Dream" and "House of Wax."
