Los Angeles - Nicolas Cage will take a starring role in action thriller Medallion.

The 46-year-old actor will play a former master thief who has a few hours to find his daughter who has been kidnapped and put in the back of a medallion taxi in New York City.

Simon West is to direct the project, which has previously had both Clive Owen and Jason Statham attached in the past, with former journalist David Guggenheim writing the script, according to Heat Vision Blog.
