Colin Farrell is in talks to star opposite Denzel Washington in Inner City , the Columbia Pictures thriller from Nightcrawler filmmaker Dan Gilroy.
The script, which Gilroy also wrote, centers on an awkward, reclusive lawyer, to be played by Washington, who has worked as a legal researcher in Los Angeles for decades. When his mentor passes away, he is recruited by a prestigious and more cutthroat law firm where he stumbles upon a case that changes his entire life.
Farrell will play the slick, money-focused lawyer who recruits the researcher to his firm.
Todd Black of Escape Artists, Jennifer Fox and Brian Oliver are producing.
A mid-March start in Los Angeles is planned, with the production budgeted in the mid-$30 million range.
Farrell last appeared in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and has two movies in the can: Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, a drama that reteams the actor with his Lobster director Yorgos Lanthimos.
Farrell is repped by CAA, LBI Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson.
