The Furious has been christened this year’s breakout action film by both critics and audiences. Now, director Kenji Tanigaki is setting his sights on his next original action feature.
Tanigaki will direct The Reckoner, which will be written by John Wick scribe Derek Kolstad and has Peter Dinklage attached to star, with plot details being kept under wraps. Lionsgate, which acquired The Furious out of last year’s Toronto Film Festival, has closed a deal for The Reckoner, with Anthony and Joe Russo’s AGBO set to produce.
Kolstad and Dinklage are also set to produce the feature, alongside AGBO’s Angela Russo-Otstot, Michael Disco and Kassee Whiting and David Ginsberg under his and Dinklage’s Estuary Films banner. The Russos will executive produce. James Myers and Pavan Kalidindi will oversee for Lionsgate.
The Reckoner marks the latest collaboration between Lionsgate and AGBO, which are behind the upcoming John Rambo movie from director Jalmari Helander and starring Noah Centineo.
