This will be the first solo feature by director llya Naishuller, who co-helmed 2016’s Hardcore Henry, while the John Wick saga’s screenwriter Derek Kolstad will write the script. The film is slated for a US theatrical release on August 14, 2020.
In addition to leading its cast, Bob Odenkirk will produce the project through his Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment company alongside 87North’s and Eighty Two Films.
In the meantime, the American actor will be seen alongside Timothee Chalamet, Saoirse Ronan and Meryl Streep in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Little Women, coming to theatres December 25. He will also be reprising his role as unscrupulous attorney Jimmy McGill in Better Call Saul’s fifth season, coming to AMC in early 2020. The role has garnered him four Emmy Awards nominations since its 2015 debut. — AFP-Relaxnews
