Miles Caton has joined the cast of Christopher McQuarrie’s untitled thriller for Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists. He joins Denzel Washington and Teyonah Parris, and he’ll play the grandson. Deadline first reported the news.
Scott Barkan and Gregg Zehentner wrote the film. Deadline described the story this way: “In the film, a former police detective (Washington) serving a life sentence is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Granted compassionate release with six months to live, he returns home to the estranged daughter (Parris) he left behind and a grandson he never knew existed. He only wants to make amends and forget his dark past. But his dark past has not forgotten him….”
Caton is a musician and actor who played Sammie in Sinners. The 21-year-old New York native is the son of gospel singer Timiney Figueroa and began his professional career singing backup for H.E.R., as Deadline noted. Post Sinners, he has since signed to Columbia Records and released the single “Lean On,” with more music coming early next year.
The producers for the untitled film are Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt for United Artists, Christopher and Heather McQuarrie for Invisible Ink, Joseph Restaino for Hungry Bull Productions, and Reza Moheet and Norman Aladjem for Mainstay Entertainment. Katia Washington and Tommy Harper also produce. Hungry Bull’s Tony Stopperan, Mainstay’s Tim Honigman and Joe Guest serve as executive producers.
The film is set for release in theaters Oct. 1, 2027.
