Hawke play a disgraced black ops agent tasked with a dead-end job of protecting a young woman (Akerman) in the middle of the Nevada desert. When the two come under attack, they have to fight to stay alive.

The Numbers Station, which has a budget of $10 million, is scheduled to begin shooting early next year. No other castmembers have been revealed. Hawke will also produce the thriller via his Under the Influence Prods. banner, with Ryan Hawke and H2F Entertainment's Chris Cowles and Chris Fenton on board as executive producers.

Akerman can be seen in The Romantics, co-starring Katie Holmes, this week.

Is Akerman's sex scene with Patrick Wilson in Watchmen not one of the oddest in all of cinema history?
