Variety reports that Elisha Cuthbert (House of Wax) is set to star in Captivity, a Roland Joffe-directed thriller.

Elisha Cuthbert will play a fashion model who, along with a chauffeur, gets kidnapped and held in a small room by a serial killer. While the psycho methodically terrorizes them, the victims draw strength from each other and fall in love.

Based on a script by Larry Cohen (Phone Booth, Cellular), Captivity will be the first true Russian-American co-production, according to producer Mark Damon.

Captivity will shoot at Moscow-based Mosfilm Studios for a fraction of what it would have cost to film in another European city or U.S. location.

Elisha Cuthbert is currently in theaters with the Warner Bros. remake of House of Wax.
