Director Brad Anderson (The Machinist) has officially signed on to direct Sony Pictures’ new action thriller Shadow Run, which is being described as “Safe House on a plane.”

Anderson first drew notice for directing the psychological thriller The Machinist in 2004. His most recent film was 2013’s The Call, which was a surprise hit for Sony. His experience and success in the genre is likely what drew the studio to bring him on to the new project.
