"This is an epic tale, a thriller set in a future uninviting yet hopeful, and its hero could not be better suited to Denzel Washington. The Hughes brothers will bring a bold, contemporary edge to the story and we're excited to have this be our next film." — Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, producersThe Hollywood Reporter: ...Washington to Star...
