Nick Jonas, Laurence Fishburne to co-star in 'The Blacksmith'

Director Pierre Morel will be helming the movie from a script by Ben Ripley, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

Jonas will be seen essaying the role of Wes Loomis, aka The Blacksmith. He is a weapons expert for the intelligence community. When his secret lab is destroyed and his colleagues are murdered, Loomis has to run to save his life. He seeks help from his mentor, the retired blacksmith Mather (Fishburne), to guide him.

"The Blacksmith" is expected to begin production later this year.
