Jeremy Renner is set to star in the action thriller “12 Bullets,” a new project described as John Wick-like, with the film focusing on battles involving London gangs. ComingSoon.net reports that Renner will return to the action genre and that he reunites with creatives connected to two of his previous acclaimed credits.
Both outlets tie the movie to “John Wick” producer Thunder Road and to Sky, which is Comcast-owned. Deadline adds further industry context, saying Legendary label 193 is launching international sales ahead of the American Film Market in Los Angeles. The two reports also identify Sean Ellis as the director, and frame the project as positioned for the international market, with London as the central setting and gangs as the central threat.
While ComingSoon.net emphasizes Renner’s comeback and the project’s John Wick comparison, Deadline foregrounds the business rollout around AFM and international sales. Both agree on the core creative and production partners and on the premise involving London gangs.
