Denzel Washington is in talks to star in the thriller “Little Things” for Warner Bros., sources tell Variety.

 

“The Blindside” and “Highway Men” director John Lee Hancock is board to write. He’s also being eyed to direct, though a deal for that has not yet been closed.

 

The story follows a burned-out Kern County deputy sheriff named Deke, played by Washington, who teams with a crack LASD detective, Baxter, to reel in a wily serial killer. Deke’s nose for the “little things” proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. Meanwhile, Deke must wrestle with a dark secret from his past.

 

Insiders tell Variety that Washington had been weighing several options as his next project, including directing the Sony pic “Journal of Jordan,” which Michael B. Jordan recently joined. Ultimately, a recent meeting with Hancock led Washington to choosing “Little Things” as his next project.

 

Washington rarely rushes to a decision, and his commitment to the film will likely lead the studio to look for another A-lister as his co-star, with hopes to begin production by this summer.

Interesting they've gone for late January rather than the empty March slot which Mortal Kombat vacated

My commitment to watching every single Denzel movie vs. two of my very least favorite actors in Hollywood. Tough, tbh.

[Blaze Heatnix]

Based on the trailer, I'm positive

Spoiler

Leto is just a red herring and Denzel is the real killer.

John Lee Hancock is such a boring director. This honestly looks like the most interesting film he's made in ages but still looks pretty boring. They should've just handed Hancock's script to Eastwood who would've probably done something interesting with this.
