EXCLUSIVE: 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.
