Jamie Foxx is set to star in Deadlocked, a new action film landing at Amazon MGM Studios that will be released on Prime Video. Deadline exclusively reported the news.
According to Deadline, the film follows “a grieving former Marine serving jury duty who is forced back into action when the trial of the century turns into a deadly hostage situation as the defendant’s daughter seizes the courthouse to free her father.”
The film is directed by Nikhil Bhat, the Indian filmmaker behind the 2024 Hindi-language action-thriller Kill, which sold to Lionsgate in a mid-seven-figure deal after premiering at TIFF, per Deadline. The script is by Eric Scot Anderson and Matt Takejiro Bosack, based on their original idea.
Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger for Range and Dave Caplan for C2 produce alongside Foxx for Foxxhole Productions. AJ Bourscheid, Liz Destro, Paul Currie and Corinne Foxx executive produce.
Foxx, who also starred recently in Netflix’s Back in Action returns to Netflix with the Olympic boxing drama Fight for ’84.
