Variety is reporting that Christopher Walken and Eva Mendes are joining Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg in We Own the Night for writer/director James Gray.

The film is set against the turbulent world of Russian organized crime and an embattled New York City Police Department in the 1980s, a Russian narcotics gang has a hit list of NYPD officers and it is up to Joseph, a night club manager to save his brother Bobby and father who are next on this list.

Walken will play the patriarch of a cop family. While one son followed in his footsteps, the other is the black sheep who's become manager of a club controlled by the Russian mob. Mendes will play the love interest of the manager, who is caught up in the nightclub world.

Production begins in March in New York.
