Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists have greenlit an untitled theatrical thriller featuring Denzel Washington and with Christopher McQuarrie set to direct, according to reports from Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.
The outlets say Scott Stuber’s United Artists is backing the project alongside Amazon MGM Studios. Deadline adds that Scott Barkan and Gregg Zehentner wrote the script and that the film is part of United Artists’ broader slate. Hollywood Reporter reports that the companies have set a release window for late 2027, while Deadline indicates the project is intended to open in theaters, without specifying the exact date in the excerpt provided. No additional plot details or casting beyond Washington and McQuarrie are included in the available coverage.
Both reports frame the move as an ongoing development effort by Amazon MGM and United Artists, bringing together Washington and McQuarrie for a new original thriller.
