Since he scooped up just about every Best Supporting Actor award available (yes, including an Oscar) for his amazing turn in Whiplash, J.K. Simmons has been in pretty high demand and looks to have chosen his next project; officially signing on for the upcoming Luc Besson action thriller The Lake.
Already set to star Sullivan Stapleton (300: Rise of an Empire), The Lake has been written by Besson (Léon) and Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2), is due to be directed by Steven Quale (Into The Storm), and will see a group of Navy SEALs uncovering a mysterious treasure in a Serbian lake, before things start to go awry when it’s released on July 15th next year.
