Overview
- The project was officially greenlit Tuesday by Amazon MGM Studios and Scott Stuber’s United Artists and is dated for a theatrical release on October 1, 2027.
- The studio’s logline describes Washington as a former police detective granted compassionate release after a terminal brain cancer diagnosis who seeks to reconnect with an estranged daughter while his criminal past resurfaces.
- Production is scheduled to begin in November 2026 in New Jersey and the search is underway for an actress to play the daughter role.
- Scott Barkan and Gregg Zehentner wrote the screenplay and Christopher McQuarrie will direct and produce alongside a producing team that includes Heather McQuarrie, Scott Stuber, Nick Nesbitt, Hungry Bull and Mainstay partners, Katia Washington, and Tommy Harper.
- The pairing follows schedule shifts for both men—Washington’s Hannibal project was paused over budget concerns and McQuarrie has finished his recent Mission: Impossible run—creating space for this original, star-driven prestige thriller.
