Samuel L. Jackson (The Piano Lesson) and Daveed Diggs (Nickel Boys) are set to star in a new hitman thriller from filmmaker Ernest Dickerson (Juice) and Gringo scribe Matthew Stone.
Vincent Newman (Maggie Moore(s)) is producing the currently untitled project, which Contentious Media will finance.
WME Independent is handling international sales. Fifth Season, CAA Media Finance and Contentious Media will handle North America.
In a part written specifically for him by Stone, screen icon Jackson plays Morris Stokes, a recently retired and very opinionated hitman for mob boss Easy-A.
The synopsis reads:
When his nephew Leslie (Diggs), is implicated in the theft of the mob’s earnings, Morris gets a call from his old boss that forces him off the golf course and back into action to negotiate one last job: he’s got the weekend to to help the kid recover the stolen money or put a bullet in him. Complicating things is the fact that Leslie has a baby on the way.
