Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists are launching a thriller headlined by Denzel Washington, directed by Christopher McQuarrie. The actor will play a former police officer who is released from prison while gravely ill.

Denzel Washington is set to headline Christopher McQuarrie’s next thriller. Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists have given the green light to the untitled project, reports TheWrap.

His character, a former investigator serving a life sentence, is granted medical parole after a terminal brain cancer diagnosis. He reconnects with his daughter, with whom he had grown estranged, and meets his grandson. But the family reunion is imperiled by the shadows of his past.

After Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, McQuarrie here tackles a screenplay by Scott Barkan and Gregg Zehentner. The film is set for U.S. theaters on October 1, 2027. Its French release date has yet to be announced.
