The hot pitch heading into the weekend is Booker, described as a John Wick-esque hard boiled action film with an African American male lead. The pitch was just delivered and there are five offers on the table. The film will be written by Derek Kolstad, who wrote the first two John Wick films. The film will be directed by Gerard McMurray, who’ll cowrite and who directed the hit The First Purge last year and is directing one of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone

Get the dude from the first purge Bootleg Blade can’t remember his real name, but he’d be good in this type of role.

Needs a better director than The First PUrge guy.
A real action backed group.
Wesley would have to be the star, he is believable as a action star, throw MJW in the mix as well.

I "pause" love MJW and Wesley but they ain't giving them the lead in what is likely a new franchise in 2019.

Hope they find room for both in supporting roles.
