Denzel Washington-Rami Malek Police Thriller Gets An Early Release Date in 2021
Variety.com: Warner Bros. has set the Denzel Washington-Rami Malek police thriller “The Little Things” for a Jan. 29, 2021, release.
John Lee Hancock is directing from his own script in which Washington portrays a burnt-out deputy sheriff from the Bakersfield area who teams with Malek’s crack LASD detective in pursuit of a serial killer. Washington’s nose for the titular “little things” proves accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules place’s Malek’s character in a dilemma.
Jared Leto and Natalie Morales also star. Hancock and Mark Johnson are producing “The Little Things” and Mike Drake is executive producing.
Warner Bros. had the date reserved with an untitled film and announced Friday that “The Little Things” would fill the slot. Paramount’s animated monster-wrestling movie “Rumble” has also been set for release on that date.
Malek signed on to “The Little Things” last year after winning the best actor Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury in box office hit “Bohemian Rhapsody.” After that, Malek landed the villain role in “No Time to Die,” the 25th James Bond movie. “No Time to Die” opens on April 9.
