Trio Looks to Join Van Peebles Thriller

Cam Gigandet, Shane West and Rachael Leigh Cook are in talks to star in KEROSENE COWBOYS.

Mario Van Peebles will direct the action thriller which is based on a novel by Randy Arrington. The story follows the rough-riding and hard-living pilots of an elite Navy attack squadron. Variety reports, "Gigandet will star as a hot-shot pilot, West plays his one-time best friend-turned-nemesis, while Cook will play an investigative journalist and Gigandet's love interest."

Adam Prince wrote the screenplay from a story by Dave Riggs and Nickolai Susby, who are also producing the movie.

The filmmakers look to shoot in St. Petersburg, Russia, and at the Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada in October. The production is working on access to military hardware in the United States and Russia, with plans involving use of actual MiGs and Sukhoi aircraft.
