Vaughn recently starred as a sergeant in Hacksaw Ridge, which was directed by Gibson, and which earned him his second Oscar nomination.

According to the site, Gibson and Vaughn will play cops who are suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics gets wide attention.

They then descend into the criminal underworld to exact vengeance.

'Dragged Across Concrete is best suited to my goal of making a heartfelt, surprising, sad, funny, shocking, and memorable world with multiple viewpoints,' Zahler said.

'As is often the case in my novels and screenplays, the protagonists are in perilous circumstances against which they struggle in different and surprising—though logical—ways.

'I am absolutely thrilled to have Mel and Vince agree to play the lead roles,' he added.
