Bradley Cooper is set to star in American Blood.

The A-list actor has signed on to star in and produce Warner Bros.' crime drama based on the upcoming book by Ben Sanders.

The rights to the novel were in hot demand, with at least one other studio bidding on the project as well as several TV companies, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Cooper will play Marshall Grade, an NYPD officer turned mob informant, who become involved in a dangerous investigation about a missing woman while living in the witness protection program in New Mexico.

American Blood is planned as the first of a potential series of novels, so there is the possibility to turn it into a film franchise.
