Julian Morris (Hand of God) has landed a role in Felt, the political thriller from writer-director Peter Landesman. He will play Bob Woodward, the Washington Post reporter who teamed with Carl Bernstein to expose the Watergate dealings.

Jackson stars as Kinkaid, the world’s best hitman, who decides to testify against his old boss — an Eastern European president (Gary Oldman) who’ll stop at nothing to keep that from happening. Interpol hires the best bodyguard in the business (Ryan Reynolds) to protect the hitman; only trouble is, they hate each other. Salma Hayek and Elodie Yung also star. Hazeldine will play Garrett, the leader of Kincaid’s detail, who has confidence in his team to get the job done at the highest level. Repped by Greene & Associates, Curtis Brown Talent Group and Management 360, Hazeldine’s recent credits include The Huntsman: Winter’s War and TV’s Peaky Blinders and Resurrection.
