Megan FoxMegan Fox has been cast as the lead in the Screen Gems thriller “The Crossing.”

The “Transformers” star will play one half of a couple who is returning from a Mexican vacation when they are carjacked and the husband is kidnapped. In order to free him, Fox’s character must smuggle heroin across the border.

Production on the movie could begin as early as July, says The Hollywood Reporter.

It’s the latest in a string of new projects for Fox, who will appear on the big screen later this year in the sequel “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and the Diablo Cody-penned dark comedy-horror film “Jennifer’s Body.”

The 22-year-old has several other movies in the works, including the indie drama “Passion Plays” – in which she will play an angel opposite Mickey Rourke – the action Western “Jonah Hex” and the comic book-based adventure tale “Fathom.”
