We have news today that Adrien Brody has scored the lead in The Courier. We get the following scoop from the murky sewer caves of Yahoo:

Adrien Brody will be chased by cops and crime bosses as the title character in “The Courier.” The action tale centers on a daredevil courier trying to deliver a briefcase to an underworld figure who can’t be found. Filming is scheduled to begin next January in Louisiana and Las Vegas.

I hope Adrien Brody gets to keep that beard for the film. In fact, I hope he smuggles all sorts of things in his beard. On the movie poster I want to see his beard super imposed over a pile of gold and cash.

From the above description I am unsure if this is going to be a fast paced survival film, chase film or a slower story about a shady courier that discovers who he is while on a job that is falling to pieces. As production begins hopefully more info about the film will be released so we will have a gage of its flavor.
