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

'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.

Vaughn is also set to star in Zahler’s upcoming prison drama Brawl in Cell Block 99, opposite Jennifer Carpenter and Don Johnson.
Hacksaw Ridge garnered six nominations in total, including Best Picture, and Best Actor for Andrew Garfield.
Gibson's 1995's war epic Braveheart won him Best Picture and Best Director in 1995
