Filmmaker Richard Linklater and actor Glen Powell are teaming up once again for a feature film. The duo, who earlier collaborated for the animated film 바카라˜Apollo 10 ½바카라™ and 바카라˜Everybody Wants Some!!바카라™, will work together for the action-comedy 바카라˜Hitman바카라™.
Linklater will direct and co-write the film, which is based on a Texas Monthly magazine article by journalist Skip Hollandsworth, reported Variety.
Powell, who is currently awaiting the release of 바카라˜Top Gun: Maverick바카라™, will also co-write the movie.
The actor will feature as a Houston cop who바카라™s been working undercover as the most in-demand hitman in Houston until one day he breaks protocol in order to help a desperate woman (Adria Arjona) trying to escape an abusive boyfriend.
The project is based on a 2001 article in Texas Monthly that narrated the fascinating story of hitman Gary Johnson, a staff investigator at the Harris County district attorney바카라™s office, who plays the role of a hitman for police requiring the help of an undercover officer to catch individuals ordering a hit.
바카라˜Hitman바카라™ will be produced by Linklater, Michael Blizzard for Detour Pictures, Michael Costigan and Jason Bateman for Aggregate Films, and Powell with his production outfit BarnStorm Productions.
