The plot concerns an aging hitman (Neeson) who is forced to take on his brutal former boss to protect his estranged son and his family.

Kinnaman will play the son who, as a chauffeur, witnesses a murder and needs to be eliminated.

All Nighter began life as a spec script by Brad Ingelsby (Out of the Furnace). With casting shaping up, it's looking at a fall production start.

Kinnaman is coming off a starring turn in MGM’s remake of Robocop, which wrapped shooting earlier this year. He is reprising his breakout role as a police detective for the third season of AMC’s thriller The Killing.

Kinnaman is repped by UTA, Magnolia Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson.
