Harold Perrineau ("The Matrix films," "30 Days of Night: Dark Days") has signed on to join Nicolas Cage, January Jones and Guy Pearce in thriller "Hungry Rabbit Jumps."

New Zealand movie producer, director and writer Roger Donaldson ("The World's Fastest Indian," "The Bank Job") will direct the movie from Robert Tannen's script, which is about a man (Cage) who hires an underground vigilante organization after his wife (Jones) is brutally assaulted. Perrineau is starring as Cage's friend and boss, an ex-cop turned high school principal.

Endgame Entertainment acquired Tannen's script in 2008 for Tobey Maguire to produce.

Maguire is producing the $30 million movie through his Maguire Entertainment banner, alongside Endgame’s James Stern and Gordonstreet Pictures’ Ram Bergman. Maguire Entertainment's Jenno Topping is executive producing.

Movie is scheduled to start shooting in New Orleans in two weeks.
