The film is based on the 2005 Charlie Huston novel of the same title about a Lower East Side bartender, now on the skids after his days as a high school baseball star, who finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes treasure hunt.
Wayne Kramer ("The Cooler") will direct the film that will star Wilson (The Full Monty, Oklahoma!, "Angels in America") as former hometown hero Hank Thompson, with Baldwin ("30 Rock," Orphans) as a crooked cop who is helping the Russian thugs on Thompson's tail.
David Hayter is penning the script for Myriad Pictures.
